Build Up To Something

Zoho Writer, Writely, and Writeboard are three online web-based writing software. I quote in the following how they are promoted to potential users. Try them out yourself. To me, I want to know if they are really useful to me. I also want to figure out how they make profit (or how they get something valuable in return) out of providing such a great service to the general public.
