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.

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
