Data Visualization: Use of Flash by Top Ecommerce Sites /w Retail Vertical - Bubble Chart
Feb 4th, 2008 by Michael Julson
Here’s another visualization which shows the ecommerce sites in the top 500 which use Adobe Flash on their site. While this is not a clear indicator of good use of Flash, it does give a sense of how much flash is used. I use it to look at the sites to see who’s doing innovative things with Flash. Although, it could just show that they have poorly optimized Flash that is bloated. The current retailers using the most Flash are SonyStyle, Nike, Dicks Sporting Goods, and Disney Direct.
Changing the label at the bottom left corner to Retail Vertical will show the top use of Flash by retail category instead.
Update: I’ve moved the visualization to after the click as it was too much on the homepage.
The data came from my top ecommerce sites mashup.

Hi Michael,
I got the weblink of your blog from your linkedin profile. What impresses me most in your blog is the way you have expressed the use of intelligent usage oftechnology by retailers for just not to just make their business transactions smooth but various formations to build an intelligent system which give them complete 360 degree view of customer’s buying habbit, model a very attractive and personalised solution on real time. This for sure makes it retail one of the most technically advanced vertical after financials.
Keep adding great stuff to your blog.
Best wishes,
Pankaj Sharma.
