webware (write)stuff

April 17th, 2007

Writewith, another web-based application that makes it easy to forget that you need to own a computer (plus expensive software) to (for instance) write something.

writewith:
- Upload documents to the web
- Assign tasks to others and share docs with them
- Edit together, chat, and see changes as soon as they happen
- Comprehensive history for each doc

I just think that only those application services will survive in the market that somehow integrate with [tag-tec]storage service providers[/tag-tec]. [tag-tec]Zoho[/tag-tec] is doing that successfully already by offering their services via APIs to Omnidrive and Box.net. Editgrid integrates with Centraldesktop and Salesforce, which represents a different take on the topic of integration. If you’d ask me I vote for the storage service provider (SSP) integration or even better both. [tag-tec]Writewith[/tag-tec] should hurry they offer some neat functionality.
