Blogging with Writely

So Writely just went open beta meaning you don’t need an invite. Writely is the online AJAX driven word processor that Google bought a while back. It basically allows you to write documents online and share them with others. If its like Google spreadsheets, you will also be able to collaborate real-time with those that you choose to.

Once I registered and logged in, I saw the blog option and thought I would give it a spin. This post is written completely in Writely.

A couple of observations:

• The UI is completely different from Google Spreadsheets. The colors, icons, layout all different.
• Its a little slow.
• When blogging, I don’t see a place for trackbacks

UPDATE : After posting from writely, I viewed the post. Everything looks fine except the title didn’t carry over. I had to edit in Wordpress to add it. Also, the tags/categories didn’t populate when posting.
