Big Google Brother 

Google Gobbles Up Web-Based Word Processor Writely

Search giant Google says it has purchased the company that makes Writely, a Web-based word processing feature. While better known for its consumer search engine, Google is mounting a significant effort to win over office computer desktops.

Its earlier release of a Google Pack of online features, and a deal with Sun Microsystems (SUN) to deliver the digitized goods was a step in this direction.
