This morning @ Max it will be announced that Adobe is throwing down some wompom to purchase Virtual Ubiquity, creators of the mighty Buzzword.


From their blog:

We’ve been having a lot of fun re-visioning word processing on a new platform. And we benefited from being a small, nimble, self-directed entity to get our vision off the ground. However, we also recognize that in order to tackle this crowded and chaotic new market, we need to work with an established software firm to get the kind of stability and market exposure needed to effectively launch Buzzword.



Adobe was an obvious choice - not only because we built Buzzword on their great Flash platform, but because Buzzword fits so well into the Adobe heritage, which is all about great design and documents that matter. We think we can truly make a difference with Adobe, and help them in a variety of ways. Adobe has some exciting plans for the future, and Buzzword is poised to play an important role in their increasing presence in the area of web applications and collaboration.

Congratulations v.u. people, a well-deserved acquisition. Buzzword is a great online application, and it would make for a truly sweet AIR offering as well. Looking forward to see what moves Adobe makes with you in the near future. Congrats Tad :)
