Flash files are often used by website designers for attractive presentations. But the flash files, being rich media, was not helpful in providing keywords for search engine robots. Search engine crawlers could neither tag them as images, nor as text.
Now that changes with Adobe & Google collaborating to share the flash file technology so that Google search engine crawlers could index meaningful information from the rich media flash files.
Adobe plans to provide Google and Yahoo with its Flash Player technology in an effort to get more of the content created for the rich media format indexed in those search engines. Doing so should make more content available to the millions of people who search and would otherwise miss finding it.

I read an excellent article by Lisa Johnson of Minnesota Council on Foundations on an initiative to allow people browsing the Internet & using search engines, to donate to their charity.
When you use GoodSearch to look up information on the Internet, you could help donate 50% of the advertising money raised by search engines, to a charity of your choice. You do not need to sign up or spend a cent.
GoodSearch is powered by Yahoo! and the technology allows the searches to track and direct these search-generated proceeds to charities.
