Friday snark attack

I enjoyed a comment by the other co-founder, Sam Schillace, too. Apparently Writely suits the work people do now, which is:

"... lightweight, high-velocity and very connected".

Just like Sam's brain?

This is interesting.

Accessing your machine over the web vs. having office apps on the web.

I think whats going to work is, you have ur machine replicated in High Availability servers, and access it over the web.

I know this is what will work. I have seen it in movies.

Andrew: That sounds kind of nice, actually. Work for me usually feels heavy, sluggish and lonely.

I am excited about the possibilities.

What would excite me more is addition of other office suites online..

I use open office/word just for record...

Thanks

Nick - I've standardised on Writely (or rather I will when I can get more clients to accept it) because it can provide docs in most popular formats AND I can use it for secure document sharing/collaboration. Much more productive than Word. It means we canuse for visualising pages in HTML while having the means to output to Word/PDF. Very useful.

One problem, some email security systems will not allow emails through from this source. Doh.

Personally... I think I'll be holding onto my copy of LaTeX for a little while.

Are we happy this is the exit strategy for these projects?

I am not, although I recognize its attractiveness.
