5 Flash applications that will blow your mind
Yell.com Maps
“A 3D map? We’ve seen that before!” Trust me… This is 3D mapping like you’ve never seen before! It’s hard to explain when you look at this static image so just check it out yourself! Hat tip to Jerome who posted this in a comment on my blog.
UJam
I already blogged about UJam earlier but they’ve added a bunch of new videos to their YouTube channel. The video below completely blew me away. There’s no doubt in my mind that UJam is going to democratize has a good chance at democratizing music making. It’s made in Europe (Germany to be precise) and would not be possible without the Flash Platform!
The Land of Me
This is a pretty amazing AIR application built for children. It’s an interactive storybook like no other. The graphics look stunning and I’m sure kids will love this. The main characters take you on an adventure where kids are encouraged to be creative and playfully learn new words and skills. The video below is a demo of the first chapter in the app/book. A demo version is available on madeinme.com. It runs in AIR and thus runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
IS Parade
Ok… Maybe this won’t immediately blow you away but it’s pretty cool nonetheless. This is probably the sexiest Twitter visualization I’ve seen so far. You just enter a keyword and the app will create your own personal parade with cute looking characters that are based on the people tweeting about that keyword. The server may be a little bit slow (located in Japan) but it’s well worth the wait. Check it out!
FreeYourDance.com
Video on the web is no longer just about playing a video. It’s also about personalized and interactive video. FreeYourDance.com (created for Jabra) is a lot of fun. It uses your webcam to track your movements as you try to follow the dance moves shown by the dance instructor. It’s a lot of fun… especially the unexpected surprise at the end! (Hat tip to FWA)

superb :) Perhaps Adobe can build their own page with these to showcase flash as opposed to the misleading HTML5 showcase by Apple.
Hi Rajdeep. Antonio Holguin made something like you’re talking about the other day: http://www.swfhead.com/flash/
the Twitter parade is too funny, please keep on sharing such apps
livebrush is pretty cool too.
Can’t wait till these flash apps become mobile browser specific. Games and apps in the browser with flash. BTW don’t know if this is flash specific but grooveshark.com is an awesome music flash RIA.
