Technology has always changed things for the better, when it comes to objects such as the car we have seen great modifications in order to adjust to new means and market demands for instance, diesel and electricity have been combined in order to make a more efficient vehicle, one that runs and is powered by both energy types and saves people money at the same time.
The same type of changes can be seen online, we have been entertained by gaming sites which have adapted to technologies such as flash in order to make these games more compatible across all browsers; on the other hand we have video sharing sites that have done the very same thing with flash technology in order for video to be playable in all computers. Many people have wondered the reason why these video sharing sites do not provide their videos using more popular containers or formats such as AVI, MKV, MPEG or even WMA, doing some research on this matter we have come to the conclusion that these sites have adopted flash technology because other video containers require what are called Codecs. Video codecs are pieces of software which allow Web browsers and video playing applications to playback content which has been encoded using a certain codec.
As you can see both video sharing sites and gaming sites have chosen to use flash technology to distribute this media, one additional advantage that flash video and flash applications offer to online users is that such container is actually interactive, this means that a website wants to embed an application or provide other options with their videos they can do it as well.
A good example of how this flash technology can be very interactive is better seen in gaming applications such as line Flyer, this is actually an online game which is played by drawing a path which will ultimately be sort of a race track for your player to ride on, this online game also incorporates wind resistance which needs to be taken into consideration by the player to succeed at this game.
Website hybrids are actually changes that benefit visitors in the end, because they don't have the end of the looking and browsing all over the web for a video sharing site or a gaming site when ever they want to watch a video or play a game, hybrids provide the best from both worlds. In some cases, small video sharing sites which also incorporate games turn out to be quite good compared to bigger sites because their content is a lot better which is a great strategy to attract new visitors and keep them happy.

free flash games as well as the
