Test from the Google owned online collaborative word processor, Writely. If this works it could prove to be incredibly useful.
Well it didn’t turn up when I posted it earlier in the day, but when I look five hours later it is there. I don’t know if it is just lag, or whether it will always be slow to become visible.
It certainly looks like this could be a useful additional way to blog for sure. The editor is a lot nicer than the one built into wordpress.com, although there is nothing inherently bad about their one. Writely has some more features for sure, and if the collaborative writing is any good then this it will probably become an essential tool for blogging.
I’ll have a bit more of a play and pass on anything I learn.
updates after the jump
Update: So this is posted and shows up in the WordPress post manager, at the time I posted it from Writely, I can view the page, and edit and re-publish it from there no problems. Except that it still isn’t displaying on the page. Maybe it is something like a post from the future? Some sort of time zone issue perhaps? Stay tuned (as if you cared ;)
Update Two: Well I set the dat on the post to yesterday, then back to today and now they show. Something still al little screwy. I was going to put a post on Google forums but as IBLocked cookies I can’t log in, and therefore can’t post a question.
