Google late Thursday re-opened its Writely beta online word processing application, which the search engine acquired in March. Because the service was being transitioned to Google's servers, it was not accepting new accounts until today. Writely offers document authoring and collaboration capabilities within a Web browser through the use of advanced scripting and AJAX. Features of the service include the ability for multiple people to work on a document in real time, secure storage that saves a document every 10 seconds, and an easy-to-use interface that mimics a desktop client without the hassle of a download.

There are more actually that should be on the list . I fear that one day there will be Island or a country named "Google". Think a story like this , "Welcome to the homeland of google, Google Island supports its visitors with many high tech solutions" "The residents are currently robots, the mayor is currently swimming beside the Adsense Hotel Resort".bla bla bla o that would be fun aye ?
