Web-based office apps have been growing in momentum. People are starting to respond to their ubiquitous access and built-in collaboration and sharing.
But they have always looked underwhelming and seemed like sad Office cutdowns.
Buzzwords (acquired by Adobe this week) is the first to raise my pulse. It’s Flash-based and quite beautiful to look at. But it goes beyond that. They have started to improve the word processor in little, appreciated ways. For example, when you highlight some text, a subtle comments icon appears out in the right margin for you to quickly add a comment, so the functionality isn’t hidden.
But the best way to experience it is to play yourself. They are currently in preview/beta and you have to request to get an invite to join. I only had to wait a day.
Find out more, see screenshots and get access to the preview.
