When Webtop takesover Desktop

Desktop to Webtop; are we ready for the Opportunities and Challenges?

Web 2.0 is no longer at our doorsteps, it has taken a seat in our living room. With variety of programs and solutions to manage all your desktop applications online, a webtop brings both opportunities and challenges.

Opportunities of Web Top Publishing
Online document creation solutions like Google Documents, it is now easy to sidestep the restrictions of desktop publishing. You go webtop with such online documents creation and managing solutions.

Such solutions also allow collaborative development of content, i.e. different persons can work on the same document at the same time. Imagine three professionals from Bangalore, Sydney and Los Angeles working on a document at the same time.

With reliable servers, there never arises an issue of most dreaded data loss. All personal and business data are safe and always accessible from any computer connected to the internet.
One can create a PDF document without using a software like Acrobat. Ebook publishing can be a collaborative project with never-before ease.

Challenges of Webtop Publishing
There will also arise challenges such as leakage of sensitive business data like customer list, financial details and personal details like bank account details.

These become challenges especially when people take a lax look on security issues. These things can mostly happen, but are avoidable by observing basic internet security measures.

Adobe Digital Editions PDF Reader

Brand new zippy e-book reader from Adobe, the new Digital Editions is a brand new experience in reading PDF files.

Unlike the regular PDF readers from adobe, Digital Editions takes up only 2.5 MB. I see before my eyes the whole file being downloaded and installed in a zip. Has the whole process taken a minute? I doubt no.

There are quite a few attractive things about Digital Editions. The two features that caught my eye
I can add all my PDF files to the library and
a comfortable Flash interface

Adobe Digital editions is in Beta Version and is available for free to download from Adobe Labs.

How does Adobe make revenue out of Digital Editions? Adobe might be selling ebooks through their ebook-store.
