This is newly launched. From the site’s own explanation: Buzzword looks like a normal word processor, but it operates inside a web browser. Because Buzzword is web-based, the document you are editing is not stored on your local machine, but rather on our secure servers. This means that you can access your document from any web connection. You no longer need to email files to yourself or carry them on USB keys in order to have access anywhere. And, because we’re saving the content on the server, you don’t have to worry about crashes, viruses, versioning, losing connectivity or navigating away from the page.
