One of my IU group&#39;s gave <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zohowriter.com\/login.sas\">Zohowriter.com<\/a> a try when it wasn&#39;t clear what was happening with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.writely.com\/\">Writely<\/a> after Google gobbled it up, but I found that I prefer the functionality I was excited about the first time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designedtoinspire.com\/blog\/writely-the-web-word-processor\/\">I wrote about <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designedtoinspire.com\/blog\/writely-the-web-word-processor\/\">Writely<\/a>.  Also, we ran into a lot of bugs and errors with Zoho when attempting to set up collaborators.  I guess we weren&#39;t alone as Writely &quot;outscores&quot; the competition in a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/reviews.cnet.com\/4520-9239_7-6627472.html?tag=cnetfd.ld3\">CNET.com article<\/a> &#8211; against competitors that I have mentioned here (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designedtoinspire.com\/blog\/zoho-suite\/\">Zoho<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designedtoinspire.com\/blog\/thinkfree-office\/\">ThinkFree<\/a>) and one I hadn&#39;t stumbled upon (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.glidedigital.com\/\">Glide<\/a>). Glad to see that Writely is still free and once again accepting new members!
