Google Buys Writely
Today we read on Jake’s Blog that:
So as many of you know that I use Gmail for most of my email. I have switched over almost all my accounts to my Gmail account. Also if you know me I have always kept the same email address and hate it when people switch. It is a pain with people switching email addresses all the time. So for me to switch to Gmail you know that is must be better.
How much better? Email is email right? Wrong. Gmail is better than any other email program that I have used. You should try gmail.Also Gmail or Google has acquired Writely which is somewhat of a database system where you can save anything and everything online. It seems pretty awesome, I am signed up for thw waiting list to try it out. What is neat is this backs up everything every 10 seconds. So it is a good place to store stuff and know that it is safe. ItT is so much more though.
