Acrobat.com - Cloud computing office suite, wiki, and webinar all in one

Acrobat.com is a combination of a cloud computing office suite, a wiki, and webinar software all in one.   Acrobat.com is an Adobe shared workspace like a wiki; however, it has a few unique features.  By default, the shared workplace is free, private, and does not have advertisements. You can access the feature if you have an Adobe login and password.  Acrobat.com uses Flash, a platform for animation and interactivity.  It includes a self-contained cloud computing office suite with a word processor (Buzzword), presentation software (Presentation), and spreadsheet software (Project Mgmt).  The other unique feature is that it includes webinar software.  The free version allows up to three connections.  The webinar includes all of the standard webinar features, such as ability to invite others, video conferencing, audio, screen-sharing, remote control, and chat.  The initial file size limitation is 100 MB. According to a CNET article, the file size is expected to be increased later.

 I am pleasantly surprised to note that the file manager will accept file types other than Adobe. The resource is certainly worth exploring.
