Google Buys Writely: Here Comes an Office Suite

March 10, 2006 10:58 am / Leave a Comment / Pat McCarthy

Google bought Writely. Nobody is that surprised, and it makes it clear Google is taking Microsoft on head on in the office application world but will of course do it on the web instead. It will be a fun battle to watch, and I’ll be glad to see some competition in that space.

The next question is if Google will build the other common office applications like spreadsheets and presentations, or if they’ll snap up some other companies.
