My Apollo Guest Post over on TechCrunch

Posted on by

Mike Arrington let me put together a guest post about Apollo that he ran today and the biggest value for me has been in the comments. While there do seem to be a lot of incorrect perceptions a big issue is going to be security, and rightly so. As Brian noted there aren’t really any documents about security or how Apollo is going to handle it. That’s something I hope Adobe remedies because the issue is only going to get bigger.

I did like a post by Marshall Sponder over at WebMetricsGuru on how Apollo could help the issue of RIA metrics. With the page view quickly becoming worthless, we need to find a way to measure RIAs. Apollo provides new hooks that might be well suited for that. I wonder how we measure RIAs in Apollo. It’s a good question.

Big thanks again to Mike for letting me talk to his users about a technology I’m excited about. Hopefully this leads to more talk about RIAs.

Oh, it’s also been submitted to digg, so if you thought the article was good, digg away.

    I think tracking and metrics will be handled differently based on the type of Apollo application. If you’re dealing with a HTML/JS application, it can be handled essentially the same way that it currently is. Of course there’s still the obstacle of Flex, AJAX, Flash and PDF. It’ll depend on what Adobe includes in the API.

    I would see it being very possible there would be a way to know everytime a user goes to retrieve content from the web.
