The Best Web 2.0 Software of 2005 - Posted by Dion Hinchcliffe (12/10/05)

"Let me tell you, Writely is AMAZING. It’s easy to use, efficient (it auto-saves every once in awhile, but you can’t tell it’s so smooth), and perfect. If you’re doing a group type project you can open the project to collaboration meaning you won’t need to exchange emails or 3 and one-half inch floppys. Plus, when your done, you can publish it to the web for everyone or certain people only.

I can definitely see this being used in schools. Why waste paper when you can publish via Writely. The teacher can instantly see what you’ve written, and if you give them permission, make changes in real time over the internet. And did I mention you can upload documents from Word and such. It’s really wonderful."

"Honestly, I think this program is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It is a fully online word processor. It is wysiwyg (what you see is what you get), very simple and straightforward. I tried it out for a while this morning from my Mac using Firefox and it worked perfectly.

The coolest thing about it is not just the fact that it's a word processor on the web (meaning, no need to purchase separate software), but that it takes advantage of the very fact that it's on the web. It allows you to collaborate on documents with others, make documents publishable, post a document to a blog, gives you the html so that you can turn the result into a fully-designed web page (and it's way cleaner than the html produced by word). You can also save the file as a word document.

People talk about Web 2.0 and this moves us more in that direction, away from a focus on the desktop and desktop applications and more toward connectedness."

"The basic concept of Writely is simple, and well-realized: a web-based repository of documents, each of which can be shared with other collaborators...

What I like about Writely is the web-centric model: the docs reside in the system, and (aside from the occasional exported doc) everything is off the desktop. The endless problems of passing docs around as email attachments are completely avoided. And the ability to push docs from a private, collaborative development to a published version for a larger group, and the then fully public. This is the usual lifecycle of many documents, like press releases, for example."
