Just SMIL News (visit http://www.justsmil.com/news/ for associated links) Real Player Ranks 10th While RealNetworks RealPlayer is not the only SMIL game in town, there is no doubt that what is good for RealPlayer is good for SMIL. News.com reports that according to Media Metrix, home use of RealPlayer in the last six months has jumped. RealPlayer is now the 10th most used Windows application in the home, up over 13% from a 24th ranking a short six months ago. That makes RealPlayer the fastest gainer in the rankings. On the Road with SMIL While things have been a relatively quiet lately in the trade press, SMIL demonstration sessions are popping up all over the world. This week, CWI is providing a demo of GRiNS at the ACM Multimedia 98 Conference in Bristol, UK. RealNetworks will be rolling out the G2 carpet at the Web 98 Conference in Boston, USA on September 24. Real will also be making appearances at Fall Internet World 1998 in October. No word yet if SMIL is Real's on the agenda for that event.
