search for a movie (via large call to action on bottom)

syndication via Goowy platform (lower right)

Goowy :

This widget will use the Goowy Platform. When the user clicks the “snag” button in the bottom right of the widget, the Goowy API runs a canned flip animation and shows their syndication panel. Each icon in this panel starts a unique process to embed the TT5 widget in the desired destination (Bebo, MySpace, Facebook, etc). We are using their tool to build a Facebook App for this widget.

We connect to their API inside the Flash and then publish the widget on their servers via the "dashboard" on their site. We then take their embed code for the widget on their site, adapt it to fit our standards and insert the code pointing to their server) into our SWF publisher.

Tracking :

This widget will use :
Goowy’s full tracking suite (via a Living sub-account on their site)
Omniture (via eVar16 and a client-cap for this widget).
PMMS Video Tracking, to track the playback of the videos.

Various sponsorship & promotion deals :

SWF n SEO

Today Adobe announced the SEO friendly SWF :)

SWF can be searched just like other content!?

Note from Adobe site:-

Adobe is providing optimized Adobe® Flash® Player technology to Google and Yahoo! to enhance search engine indexing of the Flash file format (SWF) and uncover information that is currently undiscoverable by search engines.

This will provide more relevant automatic search rankings of the millions of RIAs and other dynamic content that run in Adobe Flash Player. Moving forward, RIA developers and rich Web content producers won’t need to amend existing and future content to make it searchable — they can now be confident it can be found by users around the globe.

Wasn't that a good news for devs like us? ofcourse!!
