With Today’s announcement about Google finally assimilating Writely into the collective, I was left wondering if this was truly a good thing. I for one have used Writely for a fairly long time for personal documents and other such things, and from my experience they had a fairly solid interface going.

The new fangled interface that Google introduced after finally pulling the plug on Writely today is pretty terrible in comparison. The colour scheme really doesn’t inspire any confidence and the “Google Blue” is more like “Redmond Blue” if you ask me.

Anyhow, in order to stay competitive I really think that Google needs to spend some of it billions on updating what is a tired UI scheme and concentrate less on buying business that have yet to turn a profit.
