Last summer I wrote a post titled “The Tell-Tale SWF” where I poked a little fun at attempts by Macromedia and Adobe to eradicate the term “Shockwave” from use in relation to Flash.
Now, as I’ve mentioned before, most of the traffic on the blog is people looking for my parody TIME covers (particularly the Idi Amin piece) but I’ve noticed in the past couple of weeks when I’ve looked at log records that there were links from the Wikipedia entry on “SWF,” the file extension for compressed Flash files. And when I went to look it up, someone (not me) had put a link to my article in the “References” section at the number one spot, ahead of the official Adobe references.
Thank you, unknown Wikipedia editor!
