According to published reports and information posted to the Writely.com website and blog, the service has re-opened its Writely account beta program.

Writely beta was commenced in August last year and Google obtained the Writely technology on March 9, 2006. The motto of this Writely service is to provide online mutual word processor at no cost. This processor is extensively viewed as alternative and latent challenger to more customary locally-run word processing software.
It has been stated by the service that previously thousands of people have registered absolutely motivated by word-of-mouth and the Writely blog. After it was obtained by Google the service was restricted and a future customer sign up waiting list was maintained.
