Buzzword sums it all up
15.04.08Filed Under: Misc
Just recently I got a new computer and not wanting to use Microsoft Office for writing documents I thought I would give the Adobe acquisition Buzzword a chance. I have used GoogleDocs for a while and it works ok, but I wanted to see if the Flex based Buzzword was any better.
I started off writing some technical documentation and found the word processor to do the job. I could insert images and format lists which is basically all I would do for any document. What is missing is more short cut keys and some other minor things, but all in all I thought the service was cool. I haven’t gotten the chance to try the collaboration features yet, which really is one of the coolest features in Google Doc’s.
Anyway, while I was writing my document I had to spend some quality time catching up on my RSS feeds. When I went back to Buzzword it had a really nice surprise for me which really shows how one simple design on a feature shows that a company “gets it”. What usually is an annoying feature that you don’t want to see was transformed into something cute and unexpected. Just look at the screenshot below, there is no way you can be angry for having to log back in when you get prompted this image.
