Is that a bubble I see?

Writely has just been acquired. By one of the big five - google to be exact.

I wonder how long it’s going to last, but, for now, aiming to build something cool appears to be enough to get acquired by one of the 5 (Yahoo, Ebay/Paypal, Amazon, Google, Microsoft).

Good stuff - makes it real easy to focus. As far as I know, writely hasn’t been around very long. I guess having an actual monetize strategy is just a bonus, then, these days.
