Writely is a tool for online collaboration. Think of it as Microsoft Word, in a sharable (real time) format.
Except, this program that clearly get’s it’s inspiration from Microsoft’s flagship word processor, is being scooped up by Google.
The move would also allow Google to offer a complete office package from images, to letters to websites if it were to bring the offering to market.
