Truth be told, it is Writely Google!

Google just acquired Writely, the widely used web-based word processor, to the delight of both Writely and Google users. Why? Well it solidifies Writely as a web application and answers the question of until when they can offer the service for free. For Google fanatics, this gives validation for the GDrive "unlimited?" storage, and may progress into other services that provide web-based office productivity solutions. Of course they have e-mail and soon will be coming out with the calendar, but the killer suite would need to have a spreadsheet and a presentation program (like thinkfree?).
