I’m loving the ajax office solutions tonight. In addition to Jotspot Tracker, I’ve been playing around with Rallypoint, an online ajax word/wiki product.
Rallypoint joins Writely, JotSpot Live, Zoho Writer and others (I lump services like Writeboard and the yet-to-be-launched Chalk in this category as well - a wysiwyg wiki and a sharable online version of word are effectively synonyms).
Rallypoint has some great features, but is not as robust as Writely yet. The beta account is allowed only 2 MB of storage. And while they allow pasting from word (?), they do not have an import or export feature.. Rallypoint does have wonderful image and media uploading (with a built in player), and rich sharing/permission features.
For more information on Rallypoint, check out Brian Benzinger’s post on the product.

Which one of those online ajax word/wiki products is the best?
They might want to think about a different logo. Had I not known better it would have been easy to surmise that RallyPoint is a MS product. The use the same colors for those four arrows that MS uses but they’re arranged in a slightly different order:

Their page look like BaseCamp. Where do one get those xp-like icons?
It’s obvious so many Web 2.0 apps these days take great design inspiration from 37signals. I suppose if it aint broke, dont fix it?
This has nothing that exciting. I have tried all these and the only one worth spending time using is Writely. It seems Writely has the only true collaboration capability and an environment that works with user flow. I think this space is filling up just as fast as the AJAX desktops. Just my 2 cents…
I’d like to support Rob on this one … the amount of new Web2.0 projects has taken an immense boom over the past months and personally i’m overwhelmed by the “another beta” feeling. I wonder if it’s possible for a site to do private beta testing and go straight on to live version at release instead of making all this fuzz while still being in beta.
