Adobe's Buzzword: reinventing the weel

November 8, 2007 by Stefanos Karagos

It is a phenomenon of recent years, that many big companies with very good offline products, not to have find yet their online way...
One of these companies is Adobe, which some days ago announced Buzzword.
An online Word ;-)

After 30 minutes using Buzzword, I have to say that this service has a long way ahead to be a daily online tool and even more development, in order to compete direct Google and its Docs.

Even the Buzzword allows users to use the font Myriad Pro which is a unicode font and the same time the service itself doesn't uses it!
Actually Buzzword does not support Unicode fonts, it's too stupid...

Could anyone in Adobe think InDesign without Unicode fonts support?? Ehhh?
