A Great Day for Rich Internet Applications

The Web 2.0 Expo wifi has been spotty, so I haven’t been able to catch up on all of the opinions, but a bunch of people are talking about a bunch of things. We’ve got the Silverlight news, the talk about Adobe’s Media player, and lost in the shuffle is that Salesforce.com is starting to do things with Flex.

Today isn’t great because Microsoft unveiled Silverlight, we knew that was coming for a while, but it’s great becuase people are talking about RIAs. They’re talking about Apollo, they’re talking about great in-browser and out-of-browser experiences, and they’re talking about richness that the browser can’t achieve.

It’s also great to see interesting people come out and talk about RIAs.The always good basement.org has a post, Scoble mentioned the new Adobe Media Player, Richard MacManus took on the space, Stan Schroeder, who has a good blog also talked about it.

RIAs are hitting the big time, and getting more and more attention.There’s nothing bad about that.
