Very useful for writers. Especially writers who get distracted easily. And yes, I am one of them. Everytime when I start to write my blog, I will often get distracted with some other things, thus more often than not, my articles don't get completed in time. However, they have created this little service called QuietWrite. It is supposed to help writers get away from all those distractions and start doing what they are supposed to be doing - writing. It comes with a minimalist interface so that you can concentrate on writing. All you have to do is to sign up and you are done. There is no icons or whatever - just a blank box for you to write what you need to write. It auto-saves every few seconds so that you won't lose a thing. I have to agree with your idea - all those clutter just makes writing more difficult. A nice quiet place to write is very important for writers. Oh, and QuietWrite works on iPad which is pretty cool. However, I doubt that anyone using the iPad is into writing though.
