writely

May 18, 2006

I few months ago, I was introduced to this cool website called Writely, an online word processor.

You find yourself needing to touch up that sermon or youth talk when you discover that you left it at the office. You can drive back to the church, remote in (if you are able to do that), or just wait until the next day to do the work.

Another solution would be to store all your documents online. Writely provides a way for you to do that. I have not made the total transition at this point, but I have found uses for Writely. Whenever I want input on a letter or schedule, I stick it on Writely. The potential for this solution is great. You have do what works for you.

I do like the fact that a spell check is included and you can save your files in all kinds of formats including MS word and pdf. You can tag your files for better organization and invite people to edit your files.

Writely says:
Share documents instantly & collaborate real-time – Pick exactly who can access your documents.
Edit your documents from anywhere.
Nothing to download — your browser is all you need.
Store your documents securely online – Offsite storage plus data backup every 10 seconds.
Easy to use – Clean, uncluttered screens with a familiar, desktop feel.

Right now, writely is in closed beta, but I have some invites and would be willing to set you up if you like.

If you are interested in playing with Writely, go to http://www.writely.com to check it out and read up on it.

If you want an account, go to http://efficientministry.com/?page_id=29 and let me know.
