Buzzword out in the open on newly released Acrobat.com
One of the apps we have been demoing a lot is Buzzword. Buzzword is a web-based word processor that can be used to co-author and share documents for comment and review–but you could just as easily create high-quality print results with it. It’s not because I work for Adobe, but I really think this is the best online word processor to date and I can’t wait for the AIR version to become available. But that’s not all we’re releasing today. Buzzword is now part of Acrobat.com, a set of online services that take advantage of PDF, Flash and AIR. Acrobat.com has everything you need for file sharing and storage, converting files to PDF, online word processing and web conferencing. The cherry on the cake is that Acrobat.com has a full set of developer APIs that you can use in your own Flash/Flex/AIR applications to easily enable real-time collaboration, file sharing and conversion. Go check it out.
