Buzzword FTWDigital Backcountry - Ryan Stewart's Flash Platform Blog

Awesome. Lifehack.org (not Lifehacker, but still cool) has a round up of 13 word processors. Which one wins?

My favorite, by far, is the newly-launched Buzzword, recently acquired by Adobe. Buzzword runs in Flash, and I generally hate Flash (in fact, I use the Flashblock extension in FireFox to disable Flash-based composition by default). But Buzzword uses Flash incredibly well, providing a usable word processor that’s stunningly gorgeous.

In fairness he additionally tries out a number of mobile word processors which

wouldn’t stand a chance. But that’s exactly why Flex kicks ass. You can build something that drops people’s jaws. You can create some crap additionally, but whether you have a great team you can build mind blowing applications that invent citizens who use Flashblocker stop and start using your app. I’m stoked we bought Buzzword.

Go for the digg and thanks to Ted for the link.
