FlashForward 2000
FlashForward 2000: Just reminiscing... six years ago the event featured previews of Flash 5, but the big news was Adobe's presence at the San Francisco event... there had been a few months of press leaks on Adobe's "Ground Zero" project, which was revealed as the ImageStyler revamp named LiveMotion... lots of people were surprised to see such a heavy Adobe presence at the show, and there was a lot of money spent to influence people, secret meetings, even the giving-away of large amounts of shipping software as the new company tried to make an impression among the designers at the event. The above link goes to an audio interview with Mike Ninness, who was product manager for LiveMotion at the time... here's a text interview which also gives an idea of all the intrigue and mystery when that company first attended FlashForward.
