I have converted to Acrobat.com services. The not-so-new online service. Simply put, acrobat is the best looking among all (docushare, googledocs, Zoho, Scribd, etc)
Recently, acrobat.com has release new tools, altogether, a combination of three recently launched online services: Adobe Brio (online meetings), Adobe Buzzword (online word processor), and Adobe Share (online file sharing). Thus with the public beta launch of Acrobat.com, Adobe is taking on Google Docs, Microsoft Office Live Workspace, WebEx, and GoTo Meeting—all at the same time.
Brio is a light version of Adobe Acrobat Connect. It lets up to three people have online meetings for free, with screen sharing, desktop video, voice conferencing, chat, white-boarding. You can add in a regular toll line for a fee. Anyone with a Mac is going to love this. All the documents on Acrobat.com are organized in what up until now has been Adobe Share. The document and file-sharing service now offers five gigabytes of free storage, and lets you embed documents in a widget on other sites across the Web.
Aesthetics: A+++, if not more, it is intuitive, organic and follows every key point in designing for the the users. The service is still in Beta testing, but so is google docs. Compared to googledocs and its bright white background, acrobat.com is easier on the eye.
Usability: A++, there is one reason these guys design the best creative suite in the industry... by paying attention to user feedback and keeping uniformity throughout their product line.
Audience: Well, even though it is well designed, my appeal is that I use their software all the time and I feel comfortable with the flow and positioning of the tools. I can relate and so can anyone who has had experience with any of their products.
