Google buys Writely

Posted on March 9th, 2006.

Google has purchased Upstartle, the company responsible for Writely,the popular online word processor. The Writely web site has stopped accepting new signups until the application has been moved to Google’s servers.

Google is certainly going in interesting directions. We assume Google sees online applications as eventually displacing local installs, and the company wants to be out in front…perhaps ahead of Microsoft, even.
