ThinkFree Office


By Jennifer Maddrell - Posted on 20 March 2006

I haven't seen much hype (yet?) over ThinkFreeOffice Online, the web based suite of Office like applications.  Reminds me a whole lot of Writely.com.  I set up a "free" account with 30 MB of storage at the site that is still in "beta".  The first glance looks pretty slick.  I tried out ThinkFree Office Write and it has the exact look and feel of Word.  However, it appears to lack some of the collaboration features of Writely.com - they may be there and I just haven't found them.

Here are some quick features I found interesting:

  • No software to download
  • Create and store new files within the web browser (Java based) interface in common file formats
  • Upload stored Office Word, Excel and Power Point files to view and edit
  • Save as .pdf (but doesn't look like you get a URL for each file like Writely.com - could be wrong . . .)
  • Save to blog feature (but didn't see an RSS feed for each file like Writely.com)

That's all I know for now.  Here is a link to a Writely vs. ThinkFreeOffice comparison for more opinions.  I'll keep testing it and report back how it goes.
