I am kind of a Wall Street dork, so I set up something over the weekend that I have been wanting to try out – the Market Cap of Flex (you can see it in the side bar). Essentially, I took the Flex customer list over at Macromedia’s site, did some research, and found websites and more information for all of the companies. For those companies that were publicly traded, I also got the ticker symbol. Now every night, I go out and find the closing price of the stock and calculate the market cap of each company for that day. Then I aggregate them and display it on the side bar as well as in graph format on the Flex page (in the link bar).

Now, will a company’s market cap change just because it’s using Flex? Doubtful, but it is an interesting way to look at Flex’s adoption and also what kinds of companies are using it. I’ve also made my company database searchable, so you can click on the Flex link above and take a look. If your company is missing (and I want to get both private and public companies), send me an e-mail. Hopefully I’ll also be able to link to example Flex applications or talk about how the companies are using Flex. If you work at one of the companies, again, send me an e-mail and let me know how you’re using Flex.
