Google Writely...need MS worry about Word?

Well, that remains to be seen...however Google's new offering, Writely, appears at first glance to be quite exceptional. All the bells and whistles one could reasonable want, what appears to be very strong collaborative features and the ability to effectively "print" to one's blog. The "save as pdf" should be nice for those not on macs (as we have had the feature since OSX rolled out).

It has actually been a pretty big week for Google, as they also announced a major upgrade of their blogging tool, Blogger [as seen here, as it were]. I have not begun to shift over to the new beta version, but will do so in the not too distant future...who knows, perhaps I'll redesign the entire site...we shall see.

Writely really does appear solid. It will be interesting to watch the ripples of this tool online and beyond.
