Creative Writing: October 2006 Archives

This is a test of Writely.com's ability to post to my weblog. According to the ABC News Story: REVIEW: Writely Mostly Hits the Mark, By JESSICA MINTZ AP Business Writer:

From: REVIEW: Google's Writely Mostly Hits the Mark, but It's No Word Killer: By JESSICA MINTZ, Oct 5, 2006 (AP)

With Google's backing, Writely has a jump on its competitors, which include AdventNet Inc.'s Zoho Writer and ThinkFree Corp.'s ThinkFree Write. (There are even rumors Microsoft will jump into the online word processor space.)

But as several substantial open-source alternatives have shown, it's tough to take market share from Microsoft Word. Even with the search leader's name attached, there's little danger Writely will crush Microsoft or its pricey boxed programs any time soon.

So,...lets test if it hits my weblog. OK. It did. But I had to go back to my usual editor: Ecto and make some adjustments to things like "category", even though Writely said I could assign them and to the Title of the post - which I did adjust in Writely, but it didn't take - and I had to clean up the line breaks a bit as well as the "quoted" text. But, all-in-all, I would say that in a pinch, or when using another computer with internet access, it works.
