An overview of online programs produced by Adobe.

It seems that Adobe is making a move to enter the online services sector, having released a series of online applications since last year. These services are mostly built on Flash technology and are quite powerful. Here's a list:

1. Adobe Share: Provides 1GB of free space. It can convert all uploaded shared documents into Flash format, allowing you to embed them into webpages or blogs.

2. Buzzword: An online word processing tool developed by Virtual Ubiquity using Flash technology, later acquired by Adobe.

3. Brio: A new service launched by Adobe Lab, claimed to be the Next Generation of Adobe Acrobat Connect (the next version of the Adobe Acrobat Connect service), equivalent to an upgraded version of the web conferencing system Acrobat Connect, also built on Flash technology.

4. Adobe Photoshop Express: The online version of Photoshop just launched yesterday, offering basic image editing and storage/sharing functions.
