Google has agreed to acquire Upstartle, an early stage start-up which has developed a word processor accessible through a web browser. Upstartle’s Writely application is currently in beta and does not allow any new users to sign-up. The software lets users share and edit documents through a web browser and provides online storage. The software has a similar look and feel to text editors such as those included with Microsoft Office or OpenOffice.
