A great tool that a friend invited me into is Redliner (http://www.redliner.com). It’s perfect if you want team document collaboration with Microsoft Word-like change tracking. And built-in workflow so no more emailing stuff around.

[...] TextFlow’s certainly not the first company to help users collaborate on documents, and like other similarly-focused startups, it faces an uphill against Google and Microsoft. But it sure looks pretty, doesn’t it? TechCrunch [...]

I would of course use TextFlow instead of gdoc/buzzword/whatever if it delivers on its promiss to be better looking, more functional and free. Just as anyone else, I presume. Then who cares who owns/developed it…

Well, looks interesting but I’m not sure if it is able to compete with Google – too many scattered tools around.

This is rather interesting, but I’m a full-on Google services user. Why-oh-why does everyone feel the need to come out with super-spiffy products that aim to compete with Google?

There are already two companies that already do this, and do it well: SharePoint and Privia. Though I don’t know the correlating price point of these services compared to TextFlow.

From what I’ve heard, its amazing and really does work!

Err ok.. nifty but seems like a nice tool rather than a full blown application. Perfect candidate for some acquisition. Anyway, I don’t see them surviving for long without a proper business model. Adobe and Google can afford to release completely free products, but at present ordinary start ups cannot compete without a viable revenue model.

yahoo = textflow
to compete microsoft office and google doc

microsoft = textflow
to compete google doc and yahoo

google = textflow
will never happen. They have google doc. It’s save more money and time.

That is actually a damn interesting product. Very powerful online collaboration tool. I could definitely see myself using that. Best of luck to them

@Mik

Exactly! Where are getdropbox or sliderocket??? SlideRocket works… kinda…; but getdropbox is sheer hypeware up to now…

By: Mik

Mik — Thu, 22 May 2008 03:17:03 +0000

Too bad this won’t be available for like 6 months! Some of these sites create incredible products that will be long forgotten before they come out of beta! Here are just a few sites I’ve been waiting for like 6+ months: sliderocket.com, cloudo.com, getdropbox.com – I’ve now found alternatives for all!

The first screenshot… that looks like Microsoft’s Ribbon, which was patented. They need to be careful

The patented Ribbon is the reason why no Office competitors (offline or web) copied it.

Why is there a policy of never mentioning Adobe Buzzword in Techcrunch? How many posts have you done in google docs or zoho? This product is much closer to Buzzword than to Gdocs, yet no mention nor link.

Why such an omission? Can someone understand or elaborate on this?

By: Jack

Wow. That’s pretty impressive. Drag and drop multiple Word docs into Flash running in a browser and parse them in under a second. I guess they have that special-secret version of Flash that supports drag and drop from the desktop.

Best vaporware demo video ever!

Look for Adobe to acquire TextFlow and incorporate the technology into Buzzword.

How does this compare to Adobe’s Buzzword (beta)?

By: Jason

It does indeed look interesting. Would be more interesting if bundled into a suite of tools for collaboration. They should try to partner with another startup.
