AjaxWrite is yet another online word processor – I have writen previously about other online word processors like Writely, ZohoWriter and WriteBoard.
AjaxWrite is free like the other online word processors but where it differs is that with AjaxWrite, you don’t save your documents remotely, you save them locally, on your own pc. This has significant cost saving implications for AjaxWrite and may mean that it will outlast some of its competitors.
However, when I tried to save my document – I got the following error:
This error happened both with documents of my own and with the default Welcome.doc which opens when you open AjaxWrite.
Obviously some bugs need to be ironed out yet!!!
I can’t get it to work correctly on PowerBook G4
My issue was with my iMac G5 – is this a Mac only issue do you think?
I just tried it out in Firefox 1.5.0.1 on Windows XP SP2, and it worked without any problems. I was impressed with the functionality for such a new webapp. It doesn’t handle word graphics very well but I’m sure they’ll sort that out soon enough.
I recently got an invite to try out Riya, I’ll let you know how that goes too, if you’re interested.
BTW congrats on the blog award and the PodLeaders deal, well deserved!
John,
thanks for the feedback – love to hear how you get on with Riya too, thanks.
Thanks also for the congrats and the kind words.
I tried it on Firefox Firefox 1.5.0.1 on Windows XP SP1 and it hung, so it’s not just a Mac issue.
