Flutterby™! : Writely

So I came across this guy's page where he's doling out invites to beta test Google's Gsheet and Writely. After receiving my login for Writely, I uploaded an abstract I've recently been working on. Being just an abstract, it's just a few hundred words of text with no real formatting. Even in this simple test, I found the paradigm of a web-based word processor to be lacking. A quick glance through the formatting options told me that I wouldn't be doing any footnoting with Writely (unless I did it typewriter style by changing hard-writing superscript). But - I can see a future where I can keep a personal bibliography in Google Scholar that I can use for footnoting in Writely and import figures from Picasa and store it all in my "GDrive"... And I can share it all with collaborators and not have to carry my laptop in to work on my bike!
