Zoho Writer & Google Docs:

I find these both to be very interesting concepts, however I don't believe that these will take the place of the traditional word processor any time soon. I think there are too many technical glitches/problems to overcome before it becomes more mainstream. I am sure that is probably the same argument made going from the typewriter to a computerized word processor, but it took a while for Microsoft Word and and Macintosh Pages to evolve into what they are today. I also look at the patrons that come into the JTC today, most of whom still use floppy discs, and don't believe that a change from Word to Google Docs will be embraced very well.
