I had decided not to write posts on individual facebook apps because, already, there are many sites doing a good job in this area, including Rodney Rumford’s Facereviews.com. But I couldn’t pass an app I came across today. It is called Writeslab. This is a simple document collaboration app that could come very handy while collaborating with facebook friends. I already spoke about how Zoho could turn out to be a killer app on facebook. I am still convinced that it will eventually turn out to be a killer app, once they integrate with facebook more closely than it is now. In fact, the folks at Zoho have already promised to offer a closer integration with facebook and an ability to share with facebook friends. We may have to wait till the next release for it. However, Writeslab belongs to a lightweight document collaboration category. It offers a simple document editor with a minimal set of features. But it also offers a fine grained approach to document sharing. You can make it viewable by everyone or just your friends or you can just keep it as a private document. You also have similar choices when it comes to allowing friends to edit the documents. You can share/collaborate with just one friend or a group of friends or everyone. Unlike Zoho, this application offers only a document editor but its close integration inside the facebook and the kinda control it offers in the case of document sharing/collaboration, makes this app a very interesting one. In fact, I would even suggest that Zoho should take a lesson or two from Writeslab about the closer facebook integration and the finer controls on sharing. Check it out.
