4work.pl— Google has re-launched Writely, the online word-processor they recently bought, in public beta. Access to Writely is now free for everyone. Writely does most things Word does, for free.

I like Writely, and I use it lot, but it has only a small subset of the features of Word or OpenOffice. Granted, that subset consists of the most commonly used features, but it does have some odd omissions. It lacks word count, as an example.
@LouisC - thanks for that - not tested extensively but seems to work well in Opera 9 / Ubuntu. Wonder why they're hiding it - even if they hid unsupported features it would be better.

I still haven't found a reason where this makes more sense than just using OpenOffice. Meh, I guess this would be great for a school project.

Of course I wouldn't put any private or sensitive information on Writely, but it's great for school work and other non-sensitive things.

Doesn't support Opera either.

The "leaked" AOL searches weren't "top secret" either, but it's a good demonstration of why your privacy is important.
