Google Swiffy

A interesting new project from Google:

Swiffy converts SWF files (the file format for Flash) to HTML5. It allows Flash authors to make their animations available on modern browsers without the need for a plugin.

I’m still skeptical it will be used a lot or do anything to reduce the use of flash. Ideally, though, flash could be used as a fallback for when HTML5 is not available instead of this being a fallback for when Flash is not available. I think however the latter is more likely.
