ajaxWrite - online Word Processor for free
A couple of days ago ajaxLaunch released a beta version of online word processor application called ajaxWrite. Pretty neat program even though it is very limited in its features. It is fast, has all the basic text formatting options and tools (I think the guys are still working on the Spell check option). The main feature is - ajaxWrite is compatible with Microsoft Word, in addition it can import and export into MS Works, Word Perfect, Open Office and others. I tried importing a couple of my MS Word documents - some of them were perfect and others (like postcard templates) were not. I also noticed it doesn't support very long file names, but hey it is still in beta and cost $0 comparing to $499 ;) Within 6 days after launch of ajaxWrite these guys got hammered with massive traffic and over 500K documents were created. How about that for a link bait?
The same guys just made available ajaxSketch
AjaxSketch is basically a pared down version of Illustrator or Inkscape — perfect for creating quick charts and diagrams from scratch. It includes autoshapes, pencil mode, and text for creating the basics. You can also edit by resizing, rotating, changing background or pen color, and altering opacity.
..any files made with ajaxSketch can be brought directly into Microsoft Visio, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Macromedia Freehand, and other illustration programs.
Cool stuff. I'm wandering what is Google cooking for us with Writely - it is still only by invitation.
