Normally, I am the first person to bash flash, but there are really only a few applications I can think of offhand that make excellent use of flash. The first is LivePlasma.com, which is a fantastic music/movie/actor search engine.

Today I saw another great use of flash with the family tree website, Geni (pronounced “Jenny” or “Genie”?). It’s a pretty cool website that allows people to quickly and easily create a family tree and then invite your family members to add more people, and so on and so forth. It’s pretty much the ultimate viral website. The only worry I have is that this site might turn into family spam if Geni decides to sell this list to outside marketers, but for now, it’s pretty darn cool.
