Since I last commented on this there have been some changes. WriteLaTeX has relaunched as Overleaf. It now emphasizes online collaboration using rich text - though you can still work directly in LaTeX if you prefer. There is still a free version.
As to the others ShareLaTeX still offers free personal accounts, but is more expensive than Overleaf for paid accounts (there is a good discount for students.) ScribTeX seems to no longer exist, the website has a redirect to a ShareLaTeX page - but the page no longer exists. Verbosus is still an ongoing project, I've used it on my mobile devices.
Other entrants to this market include Papeeria and Authorea, I am sure that there are others. All are useful and have free options - but there is no substitute for having a full TeX Live distribution on your own computer.
