A.Connector

The other day I had a Skype chat with a friend I know from Twitter. Nice guy, good connection. I finally found out that he worked in the financial sector. Then a light bulb went off in my head. I have a good friend that is really skilled in financial market analysis. So instantly the A.Connector DNA kicks in and I asked my friend on Skype if he would be willing to talk to my friend. He said, “Sure. I’m alway looking for qualified analysts.”

So why am I excited? What benefit is there to me? Well I happen to be big fan of the new bleeding edge economics and not doing evil. There is still one better than that-doing good. Don’t know why, but it always makes me feel good when I can help others connect in a frictionless good fit kind of way. File this under-because that’s how I roll…

Disclosure-I’m a long time Adobe product lover from my days as a Mac only guy(yes Virginia, I’m on the infernal Winblows machines now too). I’ve had so many discussions with web/geek friends about Adobe and how it’s so incredulous with their engineering/design abilities and strong advantage with Flash platform, that they don’t do more in light of Google’s Documents, Zoho,etc.

Well happy to say that recently they’ve launched Photoshop Express for touching up digital pictures and more recently Acrobat.com as a launching point for Buzzwords, their Word alternative (on flash of course) and Connect Now a collaborative communications suite that allow you and other collaborators to have video and voice chat and see each others desktops,share whiteboard and have option to control others’ desktop/browser as well.

I’ve been testing these and they all seem to offer a lot of promise. The interface for the Buzzwords word processor is pretty sexy, only complaint I have right now is that it didn’t offer ability to change formatting from left to center or right. I might have missed that or it may be on their to do list. In any case. much more robust than Google or Zoho’s similar offering IMHO.

For those that didn’t ask-no I’m trying Plurk because I just don’t care. Sick of the alphabet-soup shiny object of the moment thingie, even with a some what sick Twitter. I’ve been using FriendFeed more
