Last week I had the opportunity to join Yahoo! Maps’ Charles Freedman in presenting at the Flash in the can festival (FITC). We were presenting at the same time as Joshua Davis, so attendance at our presentation was minimal. However, we had fun talking with the people that managed to show up

Chuck spoke about marketing concept using the Yahoo! Maps Flash API, and I pitched in by talking about some of the things Yahoo! is doing with Flash, including our FLV Video Remixer, Stats tracking applications, Finance Charts, and of course the Yahoo! Developer Network Flash Center which uses Yahoo! APIs from various Yahoo! properties.

I had the chance to hang out with some cool people, like Daniel Dura (it turns out his brother works at Yahoo! too, go figure), the guys from Metaliq, some people from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, and the authors of Red5, a kick-ass open source Flash streaming server.

Honestly, I didn’t get the chance to see any really interesting presentations. I was only there for Thursday, and it was a Thurs-Sat conference, so I missed most of the fun stuff. I wasn’t there for Mario’s, but I heard he rocked. Chuck and I spoke at the same time as Joshua Davis, so I missed his too… but I heard he was great. At any rate, I’m still looking forward to the next one.

On that note … I also spoke to Shawn, the FITC conference organizer about potentially presenting at FITC in the future … so stay tuned
