If you haven’t seen the news, last night Gotuit Media announced Gotuit.com,
an on-demand, broadband video portal that is probably one of the
coolest Flash RIAs that I’ve seen. Instead of sites like YouTube and
MySpace that use Flash to show videos, Gotuit has built an entire
application in Flash around viewing the clips.
What makes Gotuit interesting is that it isn’t user-driven, they
have actually gone out and gotten content. You can see the news, listen
to music videos, check out sports clips. As Michael Arrington says,
this application furthers television’s demise.
It is a great example of how Flash can be used not only to deliver
multimedia, but deliver an entire experience around that multimedia. It
is one of the selling points of the platform, and Gotuit does it very
well. Richard McManus has some great info on the launch.
