I’m writing this post using the re-release of Writely(beta!)! If you’ve fallen in love with Google Spreadsheets (like I have), this is exactly the thing you’ve been looking for. It does all of the important things that Word does plus a few things Word has failed on (and avoids all of the bloat and install). Sure you need to be online, but I know I don’t even consider firing up the laptop without an internet connection (it’s akin to sitting in your car without the keys).
Things I like:
- It kicks out the formatted PDFs.
- Collaboration.
- You can post to your blog (I just did!)
- The craziest thing, and I haven’t found a use for it yet, is that you can subscribe to an RSS feed of a document.
