Google, Writely and vacant buzz

Sunday, March 12th, 2006

There's been a great deal of buzz lately on Google's acquisition of Writely, an interactive rich-text web-based word processor with collaborative features. Is Google building an MS Office killer? Has Google declared war on Microsoft?

It's just as likely that Google acquired Writely to integrate into Gmail or Blogger. Google has endless uses for an application like Writely, and until we have more information, there's little reason to assume that Google is building a Super Mega Perfect Web Office Suite.
