I don't get excited about Flash often. Most of the time web developers use it to create things that should be done in HTML or just to create a useless piece of animation.
But Laszlo Systems is one of the first (I've noticed) to do a decent job at making Flash work for the user - an extension of the user interface.
On Marc Canter's webpage, it's doing wonders with OPML. Marc promises that it will be integrated into lots of fun and interesting products.
And it is darn sexy.
Nice Job!
My Laszlo OPML Viewer.
"Sitting in the left hand column of my blog (otherwise known as a BlogRoll) - you will notice a dynamic, sexy user interface object built with Laszlo Systems LPS technology. For those of you who only view this info via aggregators - you'll have to come on over to http://blogs.it/0100198 to see it. It's totally cool.
It supports OPML - which is what our WebOutliner imports and exports and we're now gonna glue it into the work that Phil Pearson has been doing over at the TopicExchange. Watch this process transpire in front of your faces - and then watch THAT get plugged into the PeopleAggregator." [via Marc's Voice]
