Platypus (GDrive) Will take over the world

[wcnesmith]

This was a file accidently (I assume) copied to the new writely website (was quickly taken off too), which introduces a newer, better world.brbra href="http://www.free-ftp.org/lieuwe/platypus/restored/index.html"http://www.free-ftp.org/lieuwe/platy...ex.html/abrbrI can't wait till beta invites start happening, I want to be on of the first people on the band wagon with this idea.br

Wow, that one page has sure made the rounds. It's been mentioned once or
twice here in various forums, and the bloggers have been close to wetting themselves.

Interesting, if true, and sort of sounds like a logical service that Google could/would offer.

But it would also be pretty easy for someone to mock up a page and stick it on Writely.

Also, the Google logo looks a bit diiferent. But I'm not a pessimist. I hope Google offer this service in the near future.
When they do, bloggers will really wet themselves.

The logo is like that because the pictures have been created to go in to make it not look so bad. When this was uploaded, the pictures were not in the same directory, so no pictures were on the page at all. So seems like "an accidental copy of the html file" onto the writely server.

Ah, so it's more a creative reconstruction of the phantom page.
I didn't notice at first the word "restored" in the address/file name.

This will be amazing if it ever sees the light.

brbrThese 2 links are wrong.brbrDesign docs url is wrong. the base subdomain doesn't exist http://www.corp.google.com/brbrThe Project page link was poorly made.
