Site of the Week: Buzzword
Although I’m a big fan of open source software, I’ve never really gotten into internet based applications. I don’t now why, exactly. There’s just something about about it that doesn’t appeal to me. Typing into a web page and saving my work-in-progress on someone else’s server just raises ownership issues. I already spend eight hours a day doing someone else’s business on their computer. Maybe I want MY work on MY Computer.
But is anything is going to change my mind, It’s Buzzword. Buzzword is a beautiful Flash-based Web-based Word Processor. It’s cool. It’s easy. And it’s feature packed.
Because it’s flashed based, the developers have added animated menus and a great graphical design. Because it’s web based it’s simple and well laid out. And because Adobe just bought it, it’s only going to get better.
There are a few flaws However. Buzzword has only a few fonts, But Courier is represented for manuscripts. And although Adobe now owns the Site, you cannot export as PDF yet.
But for a beautiful, easy to use word processor that travels with you, Buzzword is worth a look.
