Writely now features Google Account sign-in goodness
Writely has finally done the deed and fulfilled their acquisition destiny by opening their doors for users to sign in using their Google Accounts. They even published a succinct, though somewhat goofy, Help Center Q&A on this new ability, clarifying that not all Google Accounts are Gmail accounts, but all Gmail accounts are, in fact, Google Accounts; they must've been getting pounded with questions from Gmail users who aren't quite hip to the Google Account universe, or something.At any rate, there don't seem to be any other revolutionary changes; Writely's design and UI hasn't been Googleized (and some might thank them for that), but who knows - this could easily be one more step in the direction of a Google Office suite.

Still doesn't work in Safari.
I don't know wether to blame Google or Apple.
Probably both.

Blame so-called 'web standards,' because they aren't really 'standard,' at least not yet.
For what it's worth, Safari's rendering engine, WebKit, went open source a year or so ago, so blame *those* guys, if anything. ;)
