A large part of the success of online video can be attributed to the widespread adoption of Flash, a thin Web plug-in which is on nearly all of the world's computers. Developed at Macromedia, which was then acquired by Adobe, the developers never anticipated video as part of the program. Jennifer Taylor, one of the developers of early Flash told me that the inclusion of the video codec in Flash was not planned, it was an accident, a lark by a developer. She says that she and her colleagues never anticipated the current success of online video.She says in this interview that Flash 10, the latest version, is on installed on 55 percent of the world's computers, making it the company's fastest software update. She expect it to reach 80 percent of the world's computers in the "relatively near future."I interviewed Jen on Monday afternoon at Adobe's San Francisco offices.--- Andy Plesser Less
