The evangelist team in India has been working on a new search robot called FlexBot. Flexbot is a software robot that does searches automatically against Adobe's ION search engine index containing all documents, articles, forum posts, and blog posts. We will be opening access to FlexBot in a few days time on the Adobe Flex/AIR Forums as a trial.
Here is how FlexBot works:
1. Post a question to a forum.
2. FlexBot reads your post
3. FlexBot obtains the keywords
4. FlexBot returns a set of optimized search results.
RESULTS: FlexBot Practicing on the Forum
Only new forum posts will get a response from FlexBot.
This is very powerful as by majority forum posts are most often questions that have been answered before. Better still some questions never get answered and these automated results will help all developers find what they need quickly. Flexbot allows us to send high quality self-service results to anywhere you ask questions. Initially we are putting it to work on the forums but soon it you will be able to email or instant message FlexBot and you will see FlexBot show up on forums outside of Adobe's servers, FlexCoders or FlexComponents.
We are rolling FlexBot out slowly and are tuning the quality of the search results as we go.
Keep an eye out for FlexBot responses on the forums!

So Randy is sure to be in the MAX keynote with this sweet Guitar Hero solo! Wait is he really playing?
Great work!

More from the 360Flex sessions! Just about everyone who uses Flex uses data binding. Now come learn what you are actually doing when you add those curly brackets to your application. Learn what the compiler is doing on your behalf when the [Bindable] tag is added to a property or class, how to optimize and abuse binding for your own purpose and finally understand some of the performance related issues that can occur with the over/misuse of this essential Flex Tool.
Go Michael Go!

We posted another great session from 360|Flex by two great leaders in the Flex community, Tony Hillerson & Juan Sanchez. In a nutshell: Numbers, statistics, search results and focused information mean nothing without a sound way for immersing a user in exploration.
Also make sure to press the full screen button (lower right). These videos are 1024x768 and look great full screen. :)
Be the ball danny!
cheers,
