Finally Google has decided to make Writely Word Processor free for everyone. You don’t need a Writely invite anymore, just sign up for a free account.
Ever since Google acquired Writely, it has been a invite only. Surely a good news for all those who want try Writely.
I had Writely account before Google acquired it, and I’ve been using it often.

Yes, For some strange reason Google doesn’t like IE or Opera. Writley used to work on Opera before Google accquired it.
