The 1st Web Word Processing is being built with Adobe’s Flex technology.
by Carlos Pinho, March 7th, 2007

Hello there!!!

Virtual Ubiquity is bulding 1st Web Word Processor, and using Flex technology.

Web-based word processors add collaboration and remote access to Microsoft Word, but little else. Often, their makers claim stripping down Word for the web is a selling point — they say complicated functions would be better left to a desktop app. But Boston-based startup Virtual Ubiquity is a little more ambitious with its first product, BuzzWord, built with Adobe’s Flex technology.

In fact, many features of Virtual Ubiquity’s alpha “BuzzWord” product improve on frustrating processes in Word, like dropping in photos, flowing text around embedded items, creating lists, and manipulating tables. With the added benefit of living on the web, this could be a contender. (Screenshots after the turn.)

Virtual Ubiquity got quite a bit of positive feedback after showing off BuzzWord at the private Adobe Engage event yesterday.

    Your title is a bit misleading…BuzzWord isn’t the first web based word processor. It may be the first built with Flex, but it’s certainly not the first made. What I think you meant to say was “World’s 1st Flex-based Web Word Processor being built”

    It’s a greatly different statement, and to be honest I clicked on the link to come here assuming you had no clue what you were talking about.

    Regardless, BuzzWord does look very promising, and I wish virtub the best luck in moving forward with it.

    Dear Arnold,

    Hi,

    Tnx for comment. You are right, the title should be different. However, when i thought on the title i was thinking in all functionality of a word processor which are not found on the current Web Word processors we can find over the Internet.
    Sorry about my English.

    I think you would find google docs quite functional.
