In a move that seems somewhat delayed on Adobe's part, given the amount of competing web-based services already available, the beta release of Adobe Photoshop Express has been publicly launched.
Despite carrying the same name as the legendary digital image editing software, Photoshop Express is a free service that is more of a cross between Google's Picasa and Picnik, the web-based photo editor used with Flickr.
Sure there are plenty of choices when someone wants to quickly edit a photo online (FotoFlexer, [...]

Kirill Edelman and Levon Amelyan, the creators of Bubbl.us inform us that it is “…a free website to help you brainstorm and organize ideas online.” “In traditional brainstorming, or “mind mapping”, one writes a central idea on a piece of paper, draws a circle around it and starts branching off with new ideas, creating a free form diagram.”

While Bubbl.us is not the in-depth equivalent of Mind Map or even Free Mind, which requires you to install Java 1.4, Bubbl.us, on [...]

Finally, with Flauntr we have an online alternative to photo editing freeware you have to download, like Gimp.   Don't get me wrong, free alternatives to the expensive Photoshop are great whether they take up space on your hard drive or not. But using a Web 2.0 platform to deliver a quality option without the space drain is even better.
Flauntr offers three solutions for your photo editing needs: PhotoStylr, PhotoEditr, and PhotoProfilr.  Each one offers unique solutions for [...]

Anyone who is familiar with SearchMash knows that it is essentially Google's playground for new search technologies and features.
In a major update, Google has now introduced a fully Flash-driven version of the search engine that also makes use of the Snap Shots preview add-on so widely used around the web.
Flash has always had its naysayers who cite incompatibility, SEO-UNfriendliness, and slow load times, but Google seems to have created a very well-developed search engine that offers users much [...]

Just when you think there couldn't possibly be any more news to be posted about Web-based word processors and things, at least for a short while, Adobe comes out with an announcement of its intentions to get into the game. Yes, that’s right, Adobe is joining the fray.
I honestly can’t imagine why Adobe would do such a thing. It is more than anything else a graphics-based company, with its hand firmly planted in the worlds of photography, video, [...]

A fantastic new communications interface called Pronto! just emerged from the secret vault of CommuniGate. Pronto! is being unveiled today in Chicago at Adobe Max - the premier experience for Adobe users worldwide. Pronto is a RIA net communications dashboard that quite honestly blew me away. A good friend (Brian Blank of Future-Works) sent us a sneak peek at this refreshing tool that combines email, calendaring, IM, media player and even web/blog editing software in a tight package. Before you [...]

Multiplayer gaming on the Internet – or social gaming, if we’re talkin’ two-oh lingo – is nothing new. It’s been done for, well, many, many years. I believe Yahoo! was the first portal of any significant stature to debut a venue for just such entertainments, way back in the days when dial-up still ruled the tubes.
So when Profy got a message recently from the makers of a social gaming network, asking us to test what they had developed, I [...]

No beta has yet been made available, and all anyone in the blogosphere is currently running on is more or less a single JPEG, yet one can’t help but sense that, as in has in the world of local, hard disk-based photo editors, Adobe, despite arriving late to the mark, will quickly find itself standing in the winners circle once again, this time on the Web.
Photoshop Express, a kind of Elements for the “Net set” (what terribly poor wit, eh?), [...]

It seems to me that iPhoneDevCamp was much more successful than I expected, especially for an event planned at the last minute. Nearly 400 developers, testers and iPhone owners showed up at the event that gathered at the San Francisco office of Adobe. Several photos were taken at the event and a keynote presentation was shown to the attendees. Several sponsors were also present at this event, where not all the programs were finished over the weekend, but several innovative creations [...]
