Re: FLASH: site of the day

[David Mendels]

Hi,


there are two daily sites you may be referring to.


At Shockwave.com, their is the Shocked Site of the Day.  This is focused on 

sites that use Flash or Shockwave *and* are entertainment oriented.  The 

team at Shockwave.com (this is a separate company now) picks these daily.


At Macromedia.com (www.macromedia,com/gallery) there is the Site of the 

Day.  This is focused on sites that use any Macromedia technology (Flash 

and Shockwave, but also Dreamweaver, FreeHand, Fireworks, Generator, 

Drumbeat, LikeMinds, etc.)  The goal is to find a wide range of sites that 

showcase the best of what people are doing with our products.  Sometimes a 

site is picked for virtuoso use of the product, other times the site is 

picked because of good use of the product(s) and also compelling design or 

content, or a unique use of the technologies.  It is a subjective choice, 

but there are a very wide range of sites chosen, from large corporate 

sites, to "dot.coms", to developer sites, and to educational and government 

sites.  We do aim for a good variety, from UI design, to product demos, to 

cartoons, to online training and education, etc.  If we wanted just cutting 

edge Flash work, we might do almost all developer sites, but that would in 

the end not be as interesting to our diverse audience.


Do submit your site at www.macromedia.com/gallery if you would like to be 

considered.


HTH,


David
