Google Buys Writely: Here Comes an Office Suite
March 10th, 2006
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.
