I enjoyed the CNN tickers and mini graphing tools the most. Neat designs and fun transitions make raw data look pretty

What did you expect, Silverlight

Shame about Prop 8.

Good presidential election result though.

At least some of the country is still evolving.

@Tracy: god job! As someone that grew up in Danville and Lynchburg, VA, it was super cool to see Virginia go blue. I saw that VA state election board was using a flex app for delivering the information. Great to see that Roanoke was using a flash application too!

@Daniel: Thanks for going through the work to make Flash work on your 64-bit system. Hopefully we can give you native support in the future.

You probably watched the Virginia map via New York Times, but here at The Roanoke Times we also did a Flash-based map using OOP to update the results live by locality. Check it out:

I did notice that also. Even local news sites are using flash for their maps.

It makes sense though, news are just trying to get the info out there to the most people possible. Using anything but flash would compromise that goal. Silverlight would kill it, Javascript/Ajax might be too much of a hit on the server, Java is unacceptable, if none of those, then what else is there?

Anyhow, most of the places that actually use silverlight only seem to be doing it to get kickbacks from MS (or they have already been getting kickbacks, and don’t want to lose it)

Ok, and I’m using the awfull nspluginwrapper to use the awfull 32 bit plugin… why is so difficult to provide a 64 bit plugin? How many times we will have to ask for it?

Flash is great? So provide 64 bit users a proper plugin!
