The “proof of concept” project named ReviewR that let users review sites and share their reviews with others is no longer available for download.

A better solution is now available from Adobe itself, which now incorporates a similar review service in it’s range of CS Web software. Have a look at Adobe’s new offering, integrated into the CS5 suites : Adobe CS live services

I didn’t make much noise with CreOFF lately, this was mostly due to the fact I’ve been helping Emakina with a rather big project for the past months. But the start of the new year marks some -late- new year’s resolutions:

• CreOFF will show it’s face into the real world more often: I’m participating in the FeWebPlus sessions.
• Yes, expect the CreOFF site to get a new look. No world shattering news but still interesting because under the hood it might use some technologies that eventually will make it into your projects as well…
• and behind the scenes CreOFF is working on yet another usefull app – but more on that in the coming months.

Imagine this:  at the bus stop you notice a new poster that advertizes the latest concert of your favourite band coming to the city. You aim your mobile phone’s camera at the poster and hey presto: your phone’s browser is redirected to the band’s mobile website where you’re given the option to buy the last available tickets with your phone immediately.

CreOFF has been experimenting with different technologies and ideas since day one.  But uptill now links to those ideas were scattered around the web (or this blog)

That’s why now there’s a special space dedicated to (some of) the ideas that might become true apps:  labs.creoff.com

From time to time  extra ideas will be added, so check out this blog and the labs pages !

ReviewR is a showcase of a possible solution for reviewing websites and designs. It also shows some collaboration features like inviting people to join your review and give comments.

Working internationally? Going on a trip?
Then like me you probably have to lookup the current exchange rates for the country you’re dealing with. This is now made easier with your new desktop companion: CreOFF’s Currency Calculator.

I want to thank Adobe for their gift. What gift? Adobe offered a FREE Thawte developer security certificate to the first 135 or so developers that contributed to their AIR marketplace. And yes, CreOFF is one of the lucky ones.
