This week, Ryan and I go over the recent RIA news. My notes aren’t as in-depth as the usually are, but here’s the high-level outline:

• Ryan’s mountaineering. iPhone 3GS – how’s that video? We review YouTube vs. blip.tv vs. Vemeo.
• Personal data analytics – makes me remember one of the Azure contest winners, http://myimpulselive.com/.
• Silverlight 3.0 launch – all sorts of overviews out there, and also see the RIA Weekly video if you haven’t already.
• SketchFlow, and SketchFlow vs. Catalyst.
• Continental Case with Silverlight; see also Cynergy examples along these lines.
• I give a re-cap of the Adobe Industry Analyst Summit I was at this week. See posts here, here, and here.
• Summary of the Matthias Zeller podcast on portals and composite RIA.
• In talking about a story on Mixpanel, Ryan busts out with “Interaction Analytics” and recalls like Robot Replay. We also discuss how lacing in interaction analytics seems like a natural for RIAs.
• How can we get RIAs to improve the software development process? Seems like Agile and developer-centric cloud computing would converge with RIAs nicely.
