Adobe’s Buzzword

Today I was testing Virtual Ubiquity’s (owned by Adobe) Flash based Word processor Buzzword.

You can, similar to Google Docs and Microsoft’s Word, edit your text, add images, comments … but it is built in Flex (a free open source framework for building and maintaining rich web applications) and that’s why there are lots of animations making your editing enjoyable. Click on the picture bellow and see the editing screen.

My first thought was that the editor is a bit slow (due to my computer and internet connection) but I really like the user interface. Note the user comments and word count at the bottom.

I unfortunatelly can’t say that I will use it, while it is easier for me to open the word file in Microsoft Word or make a doc in Google Docs (to have all files in one place), but it is nice to know that it exists and that Flash is able to process all this data.

Well, the next Web application on my list is Photoshop Express – the Adobe’s photo editing web site.
