Some of my colleagues have done tasteful multimedia news packages which 
would have been difficult to do without it.

Well suppose you had a application which periodically contacted the 
server but you didn't want to refresh or deliver a new page (say a 
game). Could you open a socket from the client side? Maybe, but I don't 
know how. Keeping a connection open would become draining once there 
were hundreds open to the server and a waste if you only needed access 
for a few seconds. So with Flash and the client side language built in, 
I think you can do event based calls back to the server, without the 
need for a new HTTP request. No?
