The third version of the company’s Flash CMS platform was released this week, and includes features like an overhauled data base (for speed!), learning management system (LMS) bookmarking, and a new scoring display component.

 We've already expressed the growing interest around Flash-based content management systems this week, so let's get straight down to business with today's Yooba (news, site) announcement. 

Last week the company unveiled a cool little content editor for integration with existing CMS platforms. Aimed specifically at in-house teams, the tool is designed to promote fast and interactive content management.

Yes, Flash has been brought to the iPhone. No, you can't view Flash-based Web content on the iPhone. Kind of a rough deal, right?

But wait, not all is lost! In this case, luck befalls the developers yet again.

Adobe (news, site) moves fast. You may recall that the company recently acquired analytics provider Omniture, to the surprise of many a tech nerd.

The coupling of Adobe’s creative brand and analytics—which admittedly seemed odd at first—is already being reflected in its solutions. First off the conveyor belt is the brand new Adobe Flash Platform Services for Distribution. The platform gives Flash app developers more insight into how their apps are being used, and enables advertisers and content publishers alike to promote, measure and monetize their tools across the Web.

In June we told you Yooba Studio (news, site) would be worth a first and second look for those interested in Flash-based websites but not the cost of a creative agency.

It's a simple Web CMS, supported by their Rainbow XML editor, for those who don't want to be weighed down by hefty back-end systems.

You see a lot of Flash content on websites today. Sometimes the entire website is done in Flash, sometimes it's just a portion of it, or maybe just a microsite. Most people in the Flash game have either an experienced Flash developer or a design agency developing that content for you.

But if Yooba's claims are true, one can now do much of this Flash content development oneself -- without knowing the ins and outs of Flash development. You just need Yooba, a SaaS-based Flash Web Content Management System.

Intrigued but skeptical, we spoke with Sven Miller, Sales Manager for Yooba, to get the scoop on this new solution.

No doubt you’ve heard of, and even anticipated, the release of Microsoft Silverlight 3. The third version of the runtime comes a mere eighteen months after the initial launch in 2007.

Such a quick turnover has understandably made a few folks skeptical, as has the rumor that this will be the only beta before the official Silverlight 3 ships later this year. But so far positive reviews are coming in by the truckload, securing Silverlight in the ring with Adobe Flash for what will likely be a pretty good fight.

If you fed Flash to your content management system, you’d get what Flypaper Studio, Inc. has to offer. Their interactive software makes it easy for users to create and reuse Flash content for more razzle dazzle effect and less headache.

The interesting solution was recently recognized by the Arizona Technology Council at the 2008 Governor’s Celebration of Innovation, but if you haven’t heard of it yet, now’s a good time to get familiar. The release of Flypaper 2.0 was announced earlier this month and it’s looking pretty attractive (pun intended).

Apple and Adobe both strive to be the coveted number one in their respective industries. Continually, the two make strides in an effort assure that happens. Now they are working together to release Flash for the iPhone.
