Johnny Loiacono runs a huge software business-more than 50% of Adobe’s revenues are bound up in Creative Suite, so you’re talking upwards of $1bn. But he is blogging about<\/a> Adobe’s online colour-matching social service, Kuler<\/a>. What is he getting at? The boundaries of online and offline are breaking down just as surely as the barriers between home and work-life. Adobe wants to make design more collaborative, more social, and that means open data, community participation, feedness and the Interweb.<\/p>\n

As John Nack puts it<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“a key moment when Adobe creative tools moved from their desktop-only heritage to a future in which they make connectedness & collaboration first-class parts of the experience.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While i am on the subject of Kuler, I should say that when I twittered a complaint about Kuler on Twitter on Saturday, it was registered as a bug fix, with a t-shirt sent out to me by Monday. So thanks Lydia Varmazis and Sami Iwata. Johnny- your team is watching the Tubes pretty closely, which is a good sign. But on reflection Adobe may be missing a trick. That is, I couldn’t choose the colours for my own t-shirt. Adobe should do a deal with CafePress, so that people can choose their own colour scheme- and then a t-shirt would be sent out to them with those colour matches.<\/p>\n

\"kuler\"<\/p>\n

Adobe is a client<\/p>\n

update: I got the numbers wrong initially, and have corrected them above. I originally cited CS as 90% of Adobe revenues<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
