A while back I wrote about web word processing application Writely, which had just been purchased by Google. It’s now been fully adopted by Google and is now simply marketed as Google Docs & Spreadsheets. Now 37signals, the guys who make Ta-da List, have come up with ‘Writeboard’ another free web-based word processing application.
It’s features are very much the same as Writely so why not check out their homepage and take a tour to see which is for you.
If web-based word-processing applications are not for you and you prefer to have the actual software on your computer then another blow was dealt to Microsoft when earlier this month Tesco announced it was to launch it’s own budget line of PC software offering six packages, including office software, security systems and a photo editing tool, each of which would retail for less than £20.
Is this the end of MS Office?? I doubt it.

I’m deviating slightly from the SpecialStuff mantra just to point you towards a really well designed Flash website. I wanted to learn Flash a few years ago but I’ve never got around to it. Terrible.
Have a browse at Groovytrain.com. It is beautiful!

I’m pretty sure Chris mentioned this to me a long time ago but I never got round to actually checking it out, but I stumbled across it today and thought I’d do a very quick review.
I have a lot of things that are on my to-do list, and usually this list is stored in my head which means it’s not very reliable, and so something like Ta-Da can come in handy. It’s very simple and that’s why I’ll continue using it. Within a couple of clicks you can create a list and add items to it. Done. Check out a quicktime video here to see someone creating and editing a list.
The lists you make can be privately just for you, you can share them with a select few by adding their emails, or you can make it completely public. [see my list here]
As you can see from the lists above you can add really anything to it, so don’t limit yourself.
