Creating documents with Writely - Online

I recently found this online service. These kinds of things were what I envisioned as being a big part of the future of computing in years past. Computer software, delivered online.

Writely website

There are several companies developping or currently have such software deployed.

This little peice of software is nice. It looks very friendly (in my opinion) and does much of the basic tasks that you would do with either MS word or OpenOffice writer.

One thing that this does as well is allow you to post to your blog (supports a few APIs such as Blogger).

It also allows you to share your document with others. Which can be a very nice feature. One of the biggest assets to these apps is the possibilities that they open up with access. You work with a team... maybe you are all in different locations.. no big deal. You can share your files.

You and your co-worker can also work on the same documents and your modifications are sync'd. I have not personally tested that aspect of the software.

Certainly something to look at, can be a useful tool.
