Adobe is in the process of acquiring buzzword.com.
Buzzword offers a free online word processor, not a rich text editor.
The main reasons why you might want to test this service are:
- If you want to be able to access your documents from wherever you are.
- If you want to be able collaborate with other people and let them read and/or edit the documents.
- If you want a word processor that can do all the standard stuff, but is much easier to use.
This new product is based on Flex and Flash Player 9. I want to emphasize that it feels and works just like any regular word processor…but better.
In a near future it will also be available as an AIR application, in other words there will also be a desktop version that doesn't rely on a browser and a Internet connection. The two applications are identical, so it's very easy to move from one to the other.
You can get Buzzword for free at www.buzzword.com.
