Virtual Ubiquity is now Adobe's property!
Adobe acquires the RIA firm Virtual Ubiquity, which is developing the unique online word processor using Flash. The software called Buzzword and has been in closed beta for few months now. “Because it was built with Adobe Flexâ„¢ software and runs in the Adobe Flashâ„¢ Player, Buzzword enables greater document quality, outstanding typography, page layout controls, and robust support for integrated graphics, regardless of the browser or device. The application also will run on Adobe® AIRâ„¢, offering users a hybrid online/offline experience and the ability to work with both hosted and local documents. The powerful collaboration capabilities in Buzzword enable multiple authors to edit and comment on documents from anywhere, at anytime; while document creators can set permissions that virtually eliminate version control chaos. For more information on the acquisition and access to Buzzword beta software, please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/buzzwordfaq.”
