I briefly reviewed Writely, the web word processor, a few couple of months ago in one of my blog posts. Quite recently, it appears that Google has acquired the company that develops Writely. I think that means we can expect great things to come with the development of Writely on Google’s scale. I can’t wait for Writely’s popularity to grow to become popular like Gmail 😉
Google is buying a lot of good-quality, promising web apps lately. First there was Measure Map, now this… hopefully Google won’t become too powerful, I don’t like their simplistic approach.
