I've been a long time user of Thinkfree (http://online.thinkfree.com) and I've mentioned that before in this blog. However, recently Google acquired Writely and they are now offering documents and spreadsheets online. Honestly, I like ThinkFree better. Besides, ThinkFree has a PowerPoint replacement. However, Google has certain charms too. First, its Google. You figure they won't vanish and your files are probably pretty safe. Second, the Google tools are lighter weight which means they are more likely to run behind firewalls, etc. The Google tools also offer revisions and export to HTML, something sorely missing in ThinkFree. In fact, you can also export Google's documents to Open Office format directly!
Like ThinkFree you can collaborate and publish your documents. In fact, this blog entry was written with the Google word processor. Check out http://docs.google.com to try it yourself.
