Today is a really cool day for Adobe. I’d think that even if I didn’t work for them. We moved in a cool direction today. First, we acquired Buzzword, a Flex application we’ve all been seeing. That’s awesome. It means Adobe is actually acquiring Web 2.0 companies. I’m stoked and I hope that trend continues. But why did we do that?

Adobe is branching out. As an employee, I’m stoked about that. We’ve got a kick ass word processor (with some legitimate limitations) but we’ve also got a great document format (PDF) and a ubiquitous platform (Flash). Combine those two things and you’ve got a TON of potential. One of my huge complaints is that Adobe hasn’t been “Web 2.0″ enough. We’re changing that today. Share is all about the beginning of hosted services at Adobe.

This is going to be great.
