Facebook Adds Flash. Don't Get Your Panties in a Bunch ... Yet

[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]So Facebook is enabling Flash to be used on profile pages, according to a report on All Facebook. What's that all about? There seems to be a general fear that the introduction of Flash will turn the majority of Facebook profiles pages to MySpace-esqe mini, online versions of Vegas, the city of lights and countless distractions.

Well, be calmed by the fact that Facebook is only allowing businesses and select services to create dynamic web pages that support Flash. This is all made available through its Flash product called Facebook Pages, which was designed as a tool for the businesses that participate in Facebook's culture.

While Facebook has been dishing out the updated amendments to the list of regulations that are designed to whip application developers into shape, there's another sector of entities that would like to use Facebook for promotional purposes too. It's these folks Facebook is after with the allowance of Flash profile pages, especially as they're often the ones to participate in advertising campaigns, and things of that nature.
