Hi Mike,
I have just released today the public a “weblogging” service with its interface being entirely flash 8, called Flogger.tv. Its url is http://www.flogger.tv . Whenever you guys have the time please check it out, as I am still workin on making it better.

A problem I knew i was going to have was the flash player 8 updated, but I used the flash detection kit you guys published and hope it works out fine.

I really love flash and really hope to see flash everywhere, need flash player 8 on 99% of all browsers, hope I can help to that cause.

I am from Mexico and I am a certfied flash mx 2004 developer, and certainly love flash, and ofcourse i bought studio 8. So if you have the time please check out http://www.flogger.tv and email me your comments.
thanks,
Alex Bonillas

Yes, sorry! We had some problems with the Asia test and the results were a little wacky. We decided to drop the results for the December study as bad info. They will be back for the next study.

I noticed that the Asia stats were missing for December, I’m in Australia (which our politicians tell us is part of Asia these days ;-) so though I’d post some of the stats I gather.

2/Dec/2005, Flash 8 was at 22.4% from 7524 unique visitors
2/Jan/2005, Flash 8 was at 30.3% from 5935 unique visitors
1/Feb/2005, Flash 8 was at 40.6% from 4943 unique visitors

These stats are taken from 5 of my sites, that cover a broad range of demographics.

Be interested to see the similarity between the stats I gather and those of other folks, and how they compare to the NPD ones.

Mike, what was the penetration of FP7 after 5 months?

Are there any graphs available showing the penetration of each player version over time? It’s great to know what player penetration was like in December, but would be even better to be able to project these figures into the future – such as when a site will be launched.

I’m going to be launching a client site within a week that is all Flash 8. Currently their temp site for their movie is getting major hits so I’m sure I’ll help the cause in getting Flash 8 player penentration numbers up.

Dude, I am herding people into the Player 8 install big time every day. I’m using Express Install on everyting for clients and promoting it at every discussion on new media. This thing rocks and 8.5 and up are going to cause serious waves in the industy.

>HaHa, cant break the 99% bearier even with flash 5

Well, until we can create a text only version of the Flash player for Lynx, then I guess we will have to settle for 98%.
