Today Adobe unveiled the beta of their Acrobat.com online services. From the
Acrobat.com blog:
Quote:
Acrobat.com is a suite of online services hosted by Adobe that you can use to create documents together and share them with others. It helps people get document work done faster, without email attachments or version confusion, and it makes your documents look great so that you and your work look great, too.
We are starting with three distinctive applications:- Adobe Buzzword for creating and reviewing documents together.
- Adobe ConnectNow for holding full-fledged online web conferences with up to three people.
- The Acrobat.com organizer for sharing 5GB of files with others online, including the ability to convert 5 documents to PDF and embed your documents in blogs, wikis or other web pages

some more details and screenshots.
In a related news, the upcoming Acrobat Reader 9 (to be released in July) has been rewritten to improve start-up performance by only starting plug-ins on-demand; as a result, so we are promised, it should load two to three times faster than previous Adobe Reader incarnations (and probably also use less memory).
