To coincide with [yesterday's Creative Suite 3 announcement][5], Adobe has [added some features][3] to its [kuler][2] service. Kuler is a tool/social network that allows web designers to create and share color schemes. For some background on kuler [check out our previous coverage][4].
The new version of kuler features RSS feeds, clickable tags and the ability to see user themes by clicking the avatar or user ID.
Apple users can also try out the new Dashboard widget and Adobe promises that something similar is in the works for Windows users.
In addition to the new tools, Adobe says that the site has been upgraded and users can expect to see significant speed gains. And even better, In a note at the bottom of the press release the kuler team also suggests that they are working on a public API for the site.
I'll confess that I find a social network built around a color picker a bit odd, but browsing through the site it would seem that Adobe has built a reasonably large community around kuler. And there is something strangely compelling about kuler -- I just wasted twenty minutes playing with it.
To use kuler you'll need the Flash 9 plugin and if you'd like to participate by rating community submissions you'll need to sign in with an Adobe ID.
