Shira finally managed to get us into Writely - and I have to admit, as word processors go, it's pretty impressive. You can do all your word processory type things as well as...
  • Do the whole collaboration thing - editing documents in near real time (and for all I know, real time)
  • Easily see your revision history
  • Save the document as Word, OpenOffice or even PDF
  • Publish the document to the web trivially
  • Get a fairly clean HTML version of your document
  • Tagging capabilities
  • You can e-mail your documents to writely for easy upload
  • Get an RSS feed to your document

And even the ability to blog directly from writely. Which is how I composed this post.

Don't get me wrong, it's no LaTeX, or LAML - but it's impressive stuff.
