The myths about Flash and Search Engines - what's true and what isn't
It's a commonly held belief that Flash content does not work well with search engines. It's true that most search engines can't read the contents of a Flash movie, but it's not true that this necessarily makes a difference to how they index Flash objects, or a Flash site. Like many things in HTML, there are good ways and bad ways of doing everything, and the best ways lead to the best results.

What is Moonfruit and what do we stand for?
By Joe on Monday, November 13 2006, 13:26 - General chat
Moonfruit believes that everyone should be able to participate on the web, being a creator as well as a consumer. The original vision for the company when it was founded back in 1999 was to allow people to 'share their passions online'. A lot has happened since then, but this is still key to our vision. We aim to remove the barriers to technology and enable people to achieve results beyond their expectations quickly and easily.
What's new at Moonfruit?

At the end of last year, the management team of Moonfruit and a partner in France set up a new company with the aim of creating a new European internet group. This put Moonfruit in the UK together with Gandi in France (www.gandi.net - a top seller of domain names in France with over 500,000 domains) and created the opportunity to produce something larger than either of them.

How do you raise £1m? Good question. The answer to which was not to raise £1m, but instead to raise £5m, as we were told at the time by another internet entrepreneur. Apparently this was much easier. A good .com business plan needed ambition, and ambition required cash, so in a way if your plan lacked ambition you wouldn't get the cash, so £5m it was.

What the hell is a Moonfruit anyway? Good question. Apparently it is a kind of Jurassic fauna (you know a flower from around the same time as the dinosaurs), but we didn't find that out until sometime in late 2000 when we were at the BBC 2 Internet awards, sitting next to the guys from 'Walking with Dinosaurs' and picking up our award for 'Best online design'.
