i'm a sucker for smoothness, ok

Try these three impressive new web services. What do they have in common? Super-smooth Flash-based applications. Yeah, I know, Flash isn't exactly open source, but it looks great!

NPR Music - The site has something for everyone. Click "add to playlist" to activate the fast loading player.

Buzzword - Virtual Ubiquity's online word processor recently acquired by Adobe. Head and shoulders above any other web-based word processor I have tried.

SearchMash - Google's next user interface? Displays large thumbnail of results for web pages, play videos right from video results page.
