Despite all the hassle and decisions regarding adobe flash requirements, I'm seeing some profound uses of it in quite a few areas. Besides news, blogs, and music, videos are now being used for daily presentations on a number of subscribed sites for instructional purposes that seem far superior to static text. Stockcharts.com, for example, now posts daily discussions using charts, graphs, pointers, etc., to show treads and analysis. Personally, I think the updates were worth it.
