    [F9] Good News regarding player penetration

    The good news:

    MySpace.com is upgrading their Flash based music and video players to Flash 9 *NOW*.

    The upgrade is "automatic" when you log in to your MySpace account.

    This means that F9 Player adoption rates could be much faster than it was with previous versions. (Or at least it will be a quick steep adoption curve for certain demographics).

    (The Bad news:
    Right now their upgrade just isn't working. (As of July 20, 2006))

    sorry mis-read thread title, didnt see the word 'player'.....got excited, not actually interested about flash stuff

    ok ok , that is good news I suppose,will be much easier to sell F9 stuff to clients knowing that, but when a thread features the words 'mySpace' and 'penentration' you kinda exepct a bit more.....

    ...and if it doesn't work after several tries, you still have the "adoption" choice...

    Chris, that was immature and rude.

    And it made me laugh.
