Wow. Google Buys Writely.

See Claudia Carpenter's post here for more info on how things will go.

I'm both excited and nervous. Writely is a damned fine concept, and I think that having a bigger backer will allow them to grow properly (frankly, I couldn't see Writely working well as a business model without a buyout, no matter how much I love Web 2.0 stuff like this). But on the other hand, the true version-control that I'd like to see Writely develop down the road seems like it wouldn't be as high on Google's priority list as it might have been in the hands of another company. Still, I'll take an optimistic wait-and-see approach.
