Going to go and have a look at this. I've had a go at Wordpress, Ning, and a lot of other blogging platforms but a flash one should be interesting, especially from an SEO perspective. Wow!

I'm trying it out and it works fairly smoothly on my laptop. I dunno how well the 250mb will resonate with people who really like to upload videos, though. I guess long vids aren't really going to be a trend on this site. It’s pretty cool. I’m trying it out and it works fairly smoothly on my laptop.

I do have a feeling that the devs (Fi) do know their way around Flash Development. <strong>Bob</strong>, not finding what you're looking for is not a matter of scripting language or development tool, but rather a matter of design, usability testing, navigation systems and so on. Before Macromedia was bought out by Adobe, it had one of the most amazing portal like websites, full Flash and perfectly usable. <strong>Richie</strong>, it is a standard blogging platform, but with built-in social networking elements. I'm sure other will be added too, as this is only an Alpha version. Check out their upcoming features. <strong>Luca</strong>, that's what this post is about and you got it right. Discovering new technologies. For me, as a designer and occasional developer, Kontain is fascinating not in a way that would replace my WP-love, but through the technology involved in its development.

I'm just getting the hang of Wordpress so even though I usually jump right in check out new technology I think I'll wait this one out. Thanks for the heads up though Hi,

But as it appears, it is not. It looks like a social networking site. I don't know anything about flash but the site seems responsive. Maybe they will be incorporating other social media like Twitter in it soon. When you say it is a blogging platform, I thought of it as Blogger.com or WordPress.com. But as it appears, it is not.

They navigate wrong. You can never find what you are looking for. Sure they look pretty but they are pretty like beauty pageant contestants. Nice to look at, completely vacant and annoy the hell out of you after about 3 minutes. I hate flash websites. They navigate wrong. You can never find what you are looking for.

After you get to test it you will notice these things: 1. Spkies in the end-users cpu stream. (cpu jumps to 70-90% of it's capacity for no good reason) and that's all because of the flash. Same thing happens when using generated flash (like sifr). 2. Either if the platform uses php to create a xml file wich is read by flash automaticaly (this method does not create spikes), either if they use javascript to generate de flash from db meta settings etc. (wors type creates spikes) it will still be to slow, for response and such. These are a few of the problems i've encountered when i tried to create a flash wordpress theme. I abandoned it, wasn't usable but it shore was eye candy. :P Hope kontain will try to do things better then me. :P I belive Flash is usually used on a presentation sites with little content and very rare updates just because if you try to generate it with something else it produces high latency. This doesen't include FLEX, flex uses flash for output but it does stuff in a totally different way .... Anyway i'd have to write long article to cover this up. Looks nice, thought of that myself.
