Later on today at the Web 2.0 Expo ThinkFree, a popular online office suite, will announce their new ThinkFree API product.
ThinkFree API will allow web developers to include the ThinkFree office suite in their website. This could be from something as simple as a way to view a spreadsheet to an e-learning system for users to complete homework online.
Due to the fact ThinkFree supports MS Office formats (including Office 2007) you could simply use the API as a way to view Office files without the needs for Microsoft Office! API endusers don’t get an account at ThinkFree but can only use the suite to save it to their desktop. Best of all, this entire service is free!
ThinkFree also announced partnerships with the Korean NHN NAVER search portal, Sparc and Livestart. It also said that it is working with Jive Software and Amazon Web Services to develop new workspace tools that leverage each company’s strengths to provide reliable business collaboration solutions.
So if you’re lucky enough to be at the Web 2.0 Expo head to room 2016 at 14:40 PDT (21:40 GMT; 22:40 BST).

a good move.
Thank you — didn’t know about thinkfree.
With gmail there’s a similar thing – like you know, but only for excel & word – not the API thing.
Thinkfree looks very promising
Seems like a great product.
