This is great for Behance and Adobe both, I think. Adobe has immensely powerful capabilities and Behance has a great network of creatives. Combined they could go far (I hope).

It's good to see a company in my same industry make it this far.

As one of the first 100 on the Behance platform, I think this is a fantastic acquisition for both sides. When a large corporation acquires a company you love there is often concern, but seeing how the Adobe + Typekit relationship played out I'm expecting great things.

Or Adobe + Phonegap. Adobe seems to do acquisitions pretty well.

I think they have a pretty solid plan. They understand ecosystems, such as why they developed multiple types of desktop software to cater to different needs in/for the creative community.

or adobe + photoshop, adobe + illustrator, adobe + basically any product you can name.

let's not talk about the macromedia acquisition, though.

Haven't used Behance for quite a while, but it would be awesome if it got integrated into Creative Suite (think Kuler). Great news & congratulations all involved.

I'm hoping the acquisition will mean more rapid development of ActionMethod, a beautiful product with some good ideas that just hasn't kept up.

Have you checked out Trello? I haven't used Action Method in several years so I can't quite remember the details, but on the surface at least they look fairly similar.

I am a heavy Trello user. I would say it, Asana, new Basecamp and Flow have pieces of ActionMethod in them.

This is a great move! I hope Adobe doesn't mess it up, its an entire community they've acquired. With power comes responsibility and hope they wont use it to monopolize the design industry altogether.
