If it’s Monday where you are, you may be as confused as we were about this cool Flow thing everyone is talking about. An addictive gaming experience AND a Flex 2 mashup app? Wow!

Turns out to be two different things.

Flow the game lets you swim a glowing alien pincher-bug through a blue organic soup, eating and evolving as you go.

Flow the Flex 2 mashup application was demonstrated during the Adobe Keynote at Flashforward2006 Seattle, and “allow[s] you to easily search and move through different sets of online data and media.” It will be released with the next Flex 2 beta, but for now Mike Chambers has some screenshots and more info.

But what if you did merge the two? Your little bug could swim around eating tags, and each tag would take you to another depth of related tags, media, etc, the consumption of which would evolve your info-seeking critter…

OK, back to work.
