Writely opens up to public - Google spreading too thin?

Writely began accepting new members today after halting membership since Google took over few months ago.

Writely is an online collaboration based system that allows users to mport Word documents, save to PDF, OpenOffice, Rich Text Format and zip. Just like an Office product, it autosaves your document every 10 seconds to prevent any loss of data.

Writely is one of many sites that Google took over. Are they really moving away from their core business - powerful online search engine?

Even though Google seems like it is spreading too thin, I think they are still strong in the search industry. Only time will tell if that will hold long but so far so good.
