Live Scoring on Masters.org Using Flash
I was looking for scores on the Masters today, and headed to the official site at masters.org. (Go Mike Weir!) I was pleasently surprised that they have gotten rid of their Java scoring applet for one built with Flash. Head to the front page, then click on "Scoreboard" on the left hand side. And didn't I see Flash being used over at ESPN for scores as well the other day? Combine those changes with news that Flash is now available on mobile phones, and the future looks very good. If anyone at the Masters wants help in getting their scores onto mobile phones, I'm willing to help drive that relationship in exchange for a pair of tickets to next year's event. :)

Unfortunately, their detection code is whacked. I have Player 8.5 installed in Opera 9 and it tells me I need to "upgrade" to Flash 8.
:(
Nice to see more adoption, but would really like to see those little details paid attention too, heh.
