Yahoo! goes Flash with StatTracker!
Tuesday, December 23, 2008 
I am in a Yahoo! Fantasy Hockey league, and you can pay extra to get something called a StatTracker... which shows up to the second stats for your players, the players you're up against that week, other matchups in your league, and a general scoreboard. Up until about a week ago, this was delivered in a vanilla, painful Java applet. It worked, but it was lacking. It's been replaced with Flash. Thank you!!
Now, we've got some decent Flash UI and they split the NHL/League scores so you can view both at the same time. Now based on points gained, you can see where you fall in line in the league standings (not having to wait until the end of the week for the points to shake out -- it's all real-time now).

Just another case where Flash greatly improves the user experience. Well done.
