Valleywag has a post about Apollo and Silverlight. It continually pains me that Apollo and Silverlight get talked about in the same context, but be that as it may, Valleywag does come through with some funny bits. In the post, they provide some talking points for everyone who’s looking at this whole RIA world and comes away confused. And to be honest, there is a lot to be confused about. Everyone and their mother is jumping into the RIA space and the “news” that comes out is a mixture of hype and reality.

So go read the Valleywag post and consider a couple of things. One, Valleywag is talking about Rich Internet Applications. That’s pretty awesome from where I sit. When the niche you follow is being satired on a Silicon Valley gossip blog, that means good things are ahead. Two, most of the talking points are correct. The lines here are fairly clear cut. You could look at that to mean we’re rehashing all the same arguments, but I look at it as the fact that this whole thing has a lot of traction and a lot of growth for everyone.

So Valleywag, you’ve lost some luster since firing Nick Douglas, but this one made me chuckle. Bravo.
