On-Line Word Processors and Free Office Suite

Thanks to Tom Mighell at InterAlia (http://www.inter-alia.net) for providing a list and short reviews of the best on-line word processors:

• Writely
• AjaxWrite
• gOFFICE
• ThinkFree Office
• Writeboard
• Zoho Writer

According to Mighell, only Zoho Writer's on-line collaboration comes close to Writely, which has closed new registrations until it can convert over to Google.

If you not already a Writely member, here's my advice while you wait for new
signups to become available: check out the other services and get comfortable
with the idea of using an online word processor -- I really love the convenience
of being able to access a document I'm writing from any computer, at home or at
work. Then use Zoho and experiment with sharing documents with others. Then sign up for Writely when it's back in business -- I think it's currently the best
around.
