According to the latest blog post from Virtual Ubiquity

in the “Share” dialog box, just enter your friends’ email address and follow the ensuing instructions. Your friends will receive an invitation via email to access your document. ... If your friends don’t have a Buzzword account, there is a link on the Sign In page to create an account. If a user arrives at the Sign In page by way of a valid invitation link, he/she can create a Buzzword account.

Got BuzzWord on Linux ?

Submitted by Falken on

In order to login to the BuzzWord beta from a Linux machine, you'll need to use the user-agent switcher extension, and set your user agent to something like

Mozilla/5.0 (windows; U; windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050821 firefox/1.5

All the buttons I pressed seemed to work fine, though obviously it's even less supported than BuzzWord is normally.
