			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve learned thru <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/google-learns-to-crawl-flash.html">google&#8217;s blog</a> that, on a collaboration with <a href="http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200806/070108AdobeRichMediaSearch.html">Adobe</a>, the google bot can now index text inside a SWF. Yahoo is also capable of this apparently, since they were also involved with Adobe during the research.</p>
<p>The post on googleblog doesn&#8217;t give a lot of details but there is also a post at <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/06/improved-flash-indexing.html">google webmaster central</a> which provides much more information but stills manages to leave the important points in the dark.</p>
<p>Google spiders run the SWF file and clicks everywhere much like a hot blooded visitor would. Whenever it captures text, it gets indexed, If it finds a link, it add the target to it&#8217;s &#8220;to-crawl&#8221; lists and will eventually index it too.</p>
<p>That the good part but there are still plenty of limitations and a lot to accomplish.<br />
<span id="more-10"></span><br />
At the moment, SWF loaded using Javascript are not indexed, Some debate is going on in related blogs on wether SWFobject, a widely spread script to embed SWF into html is supported or not.</p>
<p>Another setback is what has been already mentioned about links. Google can crawl thru the inner links of a SWF and that includes loaded XML, JPG and other SWF files. However, this files are not interpreted as a part of a main, currently being spidered file, but as a complete independent files.<br />
This goes against any professional level ActionScript.<br />
On one hand, only very small sites don&#8217;t rely on external data for loading and populating its contents. So, for google, there would be an empty shell in one hand and bunch of unreadable data on the other. They don&#8217;t add up, don&#8217;t mix or interact. This means your real text content won&#8217;t be viewable and your swf will show up when searching for your typical menu items but not much more.<br />
Also, different sections loaded in different SWF&#8217;s will not be glued together. Different SWF helps keeping the downloaded KB to the necessary minimum making the overall user experience much more enjoyable.</p>
<p>The mining of text is still quite raw and there are no tools to add hierarchy to your content. All contents is treated the same and all links are followed. There is no equivalent to the &#8216;rel=nofollow&#8217; html attribute for links.</p>
<p>This looks like the first promising step into real and powerful SWF indexing.<br />
Lots of people are complaining about the limitations but the day the blogosphere gets rid of complainers it&#8217;s the day someone pulls out the internet plug, it&#8217;s just not going to happen.</p>
<p>Technology is evolving and small steps are just as necessary as bigger ones. Adobe, Google and Yahoo are going in the right path to get SWF finally indexed and in not too long, we should see a decent indexing system working.</p>
<p>In my opinion, Adobe should add a way of defining standarized metadata for the general project and each SWF and text pieces. Having done that programmers would find much easier to adapt code to show properly understood by search engines.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Presentation</p>
<p>Although this blog is pretended as a company or business blog I cannot overlook the need of a formal and personal presentation.</p>
<p>So here it goes.</p>
<p>My name is Ignacio García Oliver, I am a <strong>freelancer</strong> from <strong>Argentina</strong> focused mostly in <strong>Adobe Flash developments</strong>. I started in this line of work about 6 years ago and, looking at it from where I stand now, it has been a good experience.</p>
<p>My credentials sort of speak are far from this field. After a short period studying film directing, I switched the University of Buenos Aires to study Literature. I find literature fascinating and I cannot imagine a computer doing for me what a single page of prose or poetry can.</p>
<p>The mixture of literature and web programming came when, with a group of friends and fellow university students, we launched <a href="http://www.segundapoesia.com.ar" target="_blank">Segunda Poesía</a>, a site mostly devoted to poetry, interviews with novel authors from the local scene and a <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/" target="_blank">phpBB2</a> forum. The project eventually faded into more calm waters but the interest for web development continued.</p>
<p>From that moment on, tech started to take more and more time of my day and turned into a sustainable and rewarding career. The list of clients did nothing but grow steadily with many recurrent partnerships formed over the years. From arty  underground indie rock bands (I myself like to spend some time off the computer and into the drums to fight the carpal tunnel syndrome) to the Argentinian Supreme Court, from small country producers showing their handmade products globally for the first time to large multinational companies that use the web a primary sales force, my client and past experiences list is something I can look at with great joy.</p>
<p>After a year doing websites I decided to put a name to it and focus myself on this line of work: <a href="http://www.flidesign.com.ar" alt="FLI WebDesign" target="_blank"><strong>FLI WebDesign</strong></a> was then born.</p>
<p>My aim with this blog is to dump thoughts about my own and other people work and to write down my impressions on some relevant net events that pop up every once in a while.</p>
<p>Hope you all find my points of view interesting and feel free to drop a comment if something got you hooked up.</p>
<p>See you all later,<br />
Ignacio García Oliver</p>
