We’ve already told you to start doing your spreadsheets online, and now it’s time to let you know how to get your documents done the same way. We’ve lined up a mixture of 13 paid and free word processing alternatives for you to give a try, and hopefully find one that meets your needs.

AjaxWrite – AjaxWrite is designed to look somewhat like Word so you have a familiar interface, and it can also read and write to Microsoft formatted documents. It does have a drawback in that it only works in Firefox browsers above version 1.5, but they make up for it by being completely free.

Buzzword – Powered by Adobe AIR, this word processor is extremely slick in its interface, and highly responsive to your clicks.

FlySuite.com – Allows you to work both online and off, and offers you 1 GB of online storage for your files.

Google Documents – It would be impossible to do any list of online word processors without mentioning Google Docs. Easy to use, easy to collaborate, it’s just plain easy.

iNetWord.com – A full featured word processor that is also capable of editing web documents and doing one-click publishing.

J2E.com – Just 2 Easy is a word processor that’s free to individual students that assigns each document it’s own unique URL so that it can be given out to teachers and friends to view.

Nevercode Docs – Not just an online word processor, Nevercode can also be download and then store your files on their servers, making them accessible from anywhere.

Peepel.com – Peepel will allow you to import and export documents with Word and Open Office, collaborate with others on a document, and even work offline, and then resynch when you can get Internet connectivity again.

Solodox.com – Allows simultaneous editing of documents, access from anywhere, and offers support of English, Japanese and Chinese.

TheOpenDoc.com – A free collaboration word processing system that can keep track of all your changes and import and export to your favorite file formats.

ThinkFree.com – Besides doing all the usual bells and whistles of opening and working on Word documents, and being able to collaborate with others, you also get 1 GB of free storage.

Writeboard – From 37 Signals, the Writeboard word processor focuses heavily on collaborative efforts and also features versioning so you can roll back as far as you want on any document.

Zoho Writer – Zoho Writer is part of their suite of online office applications that allow you to collaborate with others, import and export to Office, and launch their programs quickly to jot down an idea, and log in later to save it.

Can’t you have a lists of such lists? And keep updating that list once you post any new list?
I would be surprised if my corporate environment was unique in this aspect. This must be something of a limiting factor for its adoption as it is by far the nicest one to use that I have tried so far.
Then again, my corporate SOE still use IE 6 *sigh*
