Earlier today Mashable came up with an alarming story: MySpace Disables Flash?. However, it turns out to be not correct, or not absolutely correct. Not that I would mind if MySpace did disable all widgets - it would shake my industry up in an interesting manner.
The Mashable inbox is overflowing today with messages that MySpace has disabled Flash across the entire network - basically, Flash-based applications are being stripped out (YouTube, Slide.com, RockYou, Photobucket slideshows). Like previous blocks, it seems to be the case that new widgets can’t be added, rather than existing ones being removed. Judging by the timestamps on the mails, this happened within the last few minutes.
