I’ve been mentioning changes to this site for the last week or so, and one you may have noticed is a navigation link at left for guest Blogger Yuri Filimonov.

Writely comes with a new Googlized interface, and while Google Docs is more a combination of existing products it should be seen as a clear message to Microsoft that Google is making it’s way into the online office space.
