Adobe Systems is currently deploying Adobe Flash Platform services to ease promotion of Flash-based games, media, and apps on various social networks and mobile phones.
The company is to usher in the first of its Adobe Flash Platform services with a distribution manager that pumps Flash content and applications to more than 70 social networks, like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube. The service will also roll out to Microsoft's Silverlight, Windows Mobile and Symbian S60 devices and Apple's iPhone.
In order to accomplish the deployment, Adobe cooperated with Gigya so that Flash-based applications can be distributed on the web, to the desktop, and to mobile devices - and be shared. This collaboration will provide the company’s distribution manager with the ability to measure downloads and use. Metrics cover unique users, impressions, interactions, numbers of installations, viral grabs, and how long an application stays on a users' social network page.
The distribution service will add code for a button or a menu to their Flash code using Flash Professional, Dreamweaver, or Flex Builder. Som, when customer buys or clicks on the button or menu in the application they will deploy on their social network of choice.
As for the phone devices, users will get an SMS message that links to the application and downloads the relevant version to their Windows Mobile or Symbian device. For the iPhone, a link will take the user to the listing in Apple's App Store and users can install from there.
Additionally, Adobe unveiled its plans to launch its second Adobe Flash Platform service, which will let applications be deployed to different social networks with no any authors needing to re-build code for the sites' different APIs and architectures.
Adobe intends to charge $1 per install of an application, that is a price the company feels people will pay in the name of distribution in the broadest possible market.
