So much for Writely - but yay for Google
I've been using Writely, the online word processing program, for a while now. I love having all - or at least most of the functionality of a word processing program online. Earlier this year Writely was bought by Google and then a couple weeks ago they finally integrated with the Google accounts of its users. But that didn't change much about the look and feel of the system.
Until today. This morning when I went to writely.com it redirected to docs.google.com. All my documents were there, just as they had been, along with the Google Spreadsheets I had in my account. This is just the sort of integrated functionality I've been looking for from Google since I can now access my Calendar, Docs and Picasa photos all from the Gmail page I open as soon as I sit down at the computer.
Great move by Google to make sure their features are as easy to use as possible. As more of us spend out entire days online using Web 2.0-ish apps this a handy way to put everything Google offers in one convenient place.
