Writely is an free online word processing tool that can be used for document creating, collaboration, and blogging. It’s a beta release — but the Writely folks say that the basic features will always be free. I hope so, because they’re getting something free too — free testing, bug reports, feedback, and ideas for features. I think it’s a fair trade, if they stick to their word.
I use WordPress for my blog, and the interface for writing a post is not very easy to use for new bloggers who don’t know html. I do know it, but I guess I got spoiled by the Blogger posting interface. I want a word processor when I compose, I don’t want to have to go putting tags around any formatting I want to appear on the page. Writely is a full-featured word processor that contains icons and buttons for most of the things I want to do when I write a post — create a link, format my text with bulleted or numbered lists, and check my spelling while you’re at it, please.
