CHris (Flazoom) points to my blogging about the Flash community and need for support from the money-makers. Some interesting comments there too.

We are in dire need of some sugar daddies in the Flash community, that much is for sure.

Phillip Torone and John Dowdell are among the people that has joined in on the discussion of how Macromedia (and others) can support the Flash community sites.. Join in on the discussion if you have a suggestion to how the Flash community sites can start making some money, and who can help and how.

Phillip mentions that he is moving towards a pay model for his site. And he aren't alone in contemplating starting to charge for his work. The question is if people in the community will be willing to pay. Phillip mentions that he has gotten reactions when charging for his work, and he is not alone in that area. When Branden Hall wanted a few bucks for a component he made (which would save most people for many hours of work) he got a lot of flack. But I suppose that some people just have to be ready to adjust to start paying for what they get.

I admit I have seen this one before, but haven't had the time to explore it until now.

Waldo's Weblog is Waldo Smeets blog which focuses on all things MX. As Waldo writes himself "Waldo Smeets, Macromedia MX freak". With the new line of products from Macromedia being so indegrated, I am sure I'll have to keep watching what is going on there. (Unfortunatly its another weblog without an RSS feed).

How Microsoft Went After Linux

Kempin recommended that computer makers who were not "friendly" with Microsoft should be hit "harder than in the past with anti-Linux actions."

Somehow I am neither shocked nor surprised.
