Web Word Processing and Document Sharing: Writely

Writely is a hosted Web application that serves as a pretty good word processor and document sharing service. I’ve been playing with it for awhile now and so far I’m pretty impressed. It’s currently beta (no Safari support, bummer) but it’s also free.

It’s document sharing portion is kind of like a wiki, in that you’re dealing with HTML documents and that you can have multiple editors, but it’s got a few key differences.

For one thing, it has permissions, so you can specify exactly who can edit or view your documents. For another, it’s easy to use, and you can post to Blogger with it.

I’d imagine they’re going to add posting support for other blogging systems in the future. It’s also got document versioning, a great feature when you’re talking collaboration via the W!
eb, and a host of rich editing features. All in all it looks like a good system for document sharing on the Web.
