Thanks to Phillip Lenssen, I have a Writely account to play with. Seems pretty cool actually. I can see how useful it will be for collaborating on the many group writing projects we have in our PR and SEO firm. We do use jot.com as a Wiki, but that’s more for spreadsheet collaboration.
The list of features for Writely is amazingly long. Whatever you might use a text editor for is applicable for Writely including creating blog posts, MS Word docs, PDFs, web pages, and even Open Office docs. There are tagging features and some cool right click options too.
Do you want a Writely invite? You can either leave a comment here (I only have 5 left) or you can visit the Chat room at Google Blogscoped.
There are also other online word processors like Zoho Writer that do not require an invite.
Dear Lee,
Any chance of an invitation? I don’t pretend that it’s a matter of life and death, but Word has just gone on the blink and it would certainly help to use Writely.
Thanks anyway
Best
Barnaby
Hi Lee,
If you’ve still got any left, I’d really like to try out Google’s latest acquisition.
Thanks,
Robbie
Hello Lee
Please send me an invite! I’d like to try it too 🙂
Thanks in advance
I’ve been praising Writely since the day I found it months ago. It’s simply the best and I won’t install Word on my home machine since I have Writely. For Excel, I suggest iRows and for PowerPoint you can check out Thumbstacks.
Exellent tips Thomas, thanks. Barnaby, Robbie, Emmanuel, your invites are on the way.
Thanks for the offer Lee, if you still have an invite left I would appreciate one!
Hello Lee
Please send me an invite! I would like to it too
Thanks in advance
Michael, yours has been sent. That’s five, but I believe I have 1 or 2 more. Rong, you’ll need to provide an email address.
Hi Lee! That sounds like a great feature. I’d love an invite if you have any left. It would greatly benefit the work we do with our company. Thanks so much for offering people this opportunity!
Thanks, Lee!
Lee could I snag an invite?
TY Steve
Got it TY Lee
If you’ve got any more invites left, I’d love one too. Thanks!
Lee,
I’d like an invite if you got one. Thanks.
Lee,
Looks like I am standing in a long line, but would appreciate an invite if you have any left. Thanks.

It is really interesting that Writely has stopped invitation when it is the buz of the media and everyone is eager to try it.
It’s very funny waiting in Phil’s chat room for an invite. 🙂
That guy is a freakin’ class act eh?
Thanks a lot for the Zoho Writer mention, Lee! Do have a look at the other Zoho apps at http://zoho.com
And, believe you came across rankquest.com. While there are many tools on offer, Rankquest’s toolbar is quite a hit. Check it out.
@ Razib: All this sudden exposure would definitely be too heavy on their servers & it is actually an intelligent move by Google. Think Google learnt this from the Google Analytics, Google Base & more recently the Google Pages launches. The way they launch the upcoming Google Calendar should be pretty interesting. (they have done a good job leaking out details & creating expectations)
Aravind, I just took a look at the list of Zoho apps. Pretty impressive! I will be checking out the CRM app for sure. I would like to try out Zoho Sheet as well.
I think you’re on target on Google limiting Writely sign ups as well. Their previous underestimation of market response and infrastructure needs warrants a more conservative approach. Am looking forward to checking out Google Calendar.
Tim and Robert, yours should be on the way. That’s it! Sorry folks, I’m out. As Mr. Pratt has pointed out, visit Phillip Lenssen’s chat room to try and get an invite.
I would really like an invitation to writely.
Please send me one

Why RankQuest Tools????? The RankQuest tools are really worth for any kind of website analysing. Code cleaner and Combo Result viewer are two extraordinary tools which give really the superb result. Why not you people can try it out. Its really coool…..
