Writely: A Web-Based Word Processor

Michael Arrington thinks that Writely is Kicking A** and he’s right. It’s a neat example of how to build a good Ajax application and has some really cool features. How many friends and family do you know who spent $200 on Microsoft Word (or even more for MS Office) and all they do is “type letters�?

Writely is shaking things up and it’s going to be interesting to see what happens in this space i.e. how long before we see a Windows Live Word for the Web edition?
