Yes, it's another online word processor. I only heard about it because the company that I work for just acquired it and I had to check it out.

It allows you to write, get others to work on the same document (using comments alot like Adobe Acrobat) multiple people can comment at once.

It does a lot of other things to but you should log on and have a play.

Vindie and I have been playing with it for the last hour and we both really like it. It made tidying up my terrible grammer easier.

Plus it just just looks sexy. :)

It's like a really shiny, much sexier version of Google Docs. I also find it runs smoother and I vastly prefer the presentation!

I concur! ^_^ I'll have to write the site down in a notebook I always have on me...

I'm tempted to, instead of carrying my computer around all the time, use this during NaNo at school. But then I'd have to actually get to the computers. Hmm...

Take the computer and have this on it. You could always post what you written later and get people to comment. Quicker than writing, and typing, and thinking 'now what does that say?' :D

hmm I'm impressed, what're your e-mails you guys used? You guys can take a look at my NaNo and let me know what you think

The only problem is it not having word count which is a big thing for Nano. But this is only a Beta so hopefully it is something that they'll have in the future.

Yeah I noticed.

I put it up on the "feature suggestions" thread in their forums. XDDDD

This seems kind of cool. I signed up and actually wrote a couple of paragraphs, which is unusual for this time of year. (Might just be the novelty of it all.)

Looks like it's largely Java stuff. I'm not too crazy with the multiple windows but maybe there's a setting for that.
