I think Writely in the hand of Google will shine a lot. Googe is really redefining Tech world this year.

"RSS Beyond Blogging. Are you using syndicated content as a marketing tool for your business? How has this changed your business?"

I have no story about how RSS has changed our business but I thought it would be a good thing to let you know that our company provides RSS tools and syndication tools that facilitate the distribution of syndicated content. Using our services companies can for example allow their readers to easily and effortlessly display their latest news headlines on their blog. Do not hesitate to contact me if you want more details about our services.

I think you're right, Razib. Google's brand is very strong. People will be more likely to discover the program now that it's owned by Google, and they'll trust their data with Google more than with a brand their unfamiliar with.
