Adobe Wave
似乎是刚放出来不久,官方地址:http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/wave/
介绍:
Adobe® Wave™ is an Adobe AIR® application and Adobe hosted service that work together to enable desktop notifications for web publishers, large and small. It helps publishers stay connected to your community and lets users avoid the email clutter of dozens of newsletters and social network update messages. Adobe Wave lets you reach users directly on their desktop: there is no need to make them download a custom application or build it yourself. If you have a community of people interested in hearing updates about your website, service or business, Adobe Wave is for you.
Adobe Wave allows consumers to opt-in to receive desktop notifications from their favorite websites. Unlike news feeds and content syndication, each notification carries a call-to-action: clicking directs users to a publisher-specified URL, helping to drive traffic back to your site.
Notifications can bring activity and events on your site to users even when they’re not in the browser and not thinking about you. You can specify a URL for each notification, so when a user clicks, they’re taken right where they need to go. Unlike e-mail, Adobe Wave has been architected to be a more trusted communications channel and consequently minimizes spam and phishing concerns.
Notifications can be customized with your logo, background and foreground colors, and a thumbnail image to help your brand shine through to the user.

我们会发现这个Adobe Wave其实是个阅读器,发布者还要专门申请个帐号,发布的时候其实又是发布一个RSS,那问题就来了,我干嘛不用Google Reader之类的直接订阅?要开的东西已经够多了,MSN,QQ,Twitter Deck,,又开一个Adobe Wave,?总觉得Adobe这个市场扩展做的有点问题,或者说这个东西并不是单独的作为一个Reader存在?,,等看发展情况吧..
PS:注册了一个Publisher帐号,不过要等审核,,.这个这个,,,等有结果了再丢一个到这里吧,,.
