Treasure Hunt 2009 Results Part 14

[TomFulp]

sr-frogs forwarded me a link to a fun read by an Adobe employee, about what drove the spread of Flash.

The article states, "But history shows that it was Flash's total ecology of creators and audiences -- all the exceptionally diverse people who found value in using Flash -- which successfully drove the later practicality of in-browser video. In a sense, sites like JibJab and NewGrounds made sites like YouTube possible."

I thought it was neat that NG was actually being credited with making Flash itself popular, aside from the fact that our content submission system laid the groundwork for sites like YouTube to follow years later.

Today is Day 14 of the Treasure Hunt results and our final category. I'll announce the results tomorrow!

Everything on this list is part of a larger series, although some never got past one episode. If you like what you see, be sure to check out the author's page for more episodes!

If you're in the UK, don't miss the NG Autumn Fling this weekend in London! Just thinking about it makes me want to drink a beer, but then I would have to go cut myself.

Does that mean you'll be tempted to attend another one in London in future?

I always get annoyed when YouTube gets more positive news than Newgrounds. It is just this site with .mov files instead of .fla files! Oh, and their poor community, of course.

Just thinking about it makes me want to drink a beer, but then I would have to go cut myself.

In good 4chan style: do it!

I wouldn't have been surprised if one of the Youtube creators stumbled upon Numa Numa and had a 'eureka moment'. It's nice to see credit where credit is due.

Reboot's been frontpaged alot of times. Jmartin97 doesn't get recognized enough for that series though, it's incredible.

FINALLY!!!!! you don't know how long I've waited someone to say that. I hate how people think that youtube started everything and newgrounds is just some small site.
