Adobe ConnectNow and Acrobat.com

[Eli Cochran]

Adobe rolled out a new online product this last week called  
Acrobat.com, basically a roll-up of a number of products that they  
have been running in various release and beta versions for a while now.

http://acrobat.com

The most useful for Fluid might be ConnectNow, which is a free, hosted  
version of Adobe Connect, aka Breeze. It only supports three users,  
but it has screen-sharing and a shared whiteboard. I can see this as a  
nice overflow for our current breeze room, or when we need features  
that our version of Breeze doesn't support, or doesn't support very  
well.

The other feature/application in Acrobat.com that is interesting to me  
is called BuzzWord. This is a Flash-based online word processor, with  
real time collaboration and commenting, and version control. Think  
GoogleDocs (just the word part) on steroids, or a shared white board  
for written documents.

Enjoy,
Eli
