After being closed to new users for a time, Writely is back in business. This is essentially an online word processing program, where you save your document online and can thus retrieve it from any machine. This could be particularly useful for students who might start an assignment at home, then want to access it from a laptop or common machine on campus. It also appears to have easy collaboration capabilities, which I've often found quite a pain when you're emailing documents back and forth. I've only played with it a bit, but so far it's pretty interesting. Another Google salvo against Microsoft. Try Writely here.
