Headup – powered by Silverlight

star Headup is powered by MS Silverlight so if you haven’t installed Silverlight on your machine, we will include it in your Headup installation.



star What is Silverlight?

Silverlight is a programmable browser plugin developed by Microsoft that enables animation, rich graphics, audio-video playback, and other features that characterize rich Internet applications. Silverlight is comparable to "Adobe Flash", and is often seen as Microsoft’s response to Adobe’s product.

star Why is Headup powered by Silverlight?

Headup uses the Silverlight platform to power the user interface, enable audio & video playback, and also to perform some of the wizardry necessary to offer you personalized content recommendations while you browse the Web.

star How do you benefit from Silverlight?

There are a number of reasons that led us to choose Silverlight as Headup’s delivery platform. What eventually tipped the scales in Silverlight's favor were the advantages it promises you:

  • You wait less time for new features and goodies due to Silverlight being developer & designer friendly and allowing us to spend more time developing stuff and less time debugging it.
  • Silverlight helps us safeguard your privacy because it enables Headup to run queries and do reasoning locally on your computer, which means that we don’t need to store any of your data on our servers.
