Amy’s Weblog

So, I have just finished my exploration of Google Docs. I’ve actually been using yahoo docs for a bit in my MAC committee work.

I didn’t realize how much fun Google Docs could be. I had a couple of my gmail friends play around with it, and we discovered that we could all be in the document at the same time and tell that we were all editing at the same time.  The greatest part was that it didn’t seem to cause any problems.  My friend said she could see my stuff appear, which I guess took place after I saved.

I think this will revolutionize the way that collaborative work is done.  I dont’ know that it’s quite ready to replace the desktop, though.

Now, I did also look at Zoho and Microsoft Live. Microsoft Live is pretty much the same as Google docs from what I could tell. Zoho has a lot of bells and whistles, but doesn’t really seem like something I would use at this point. I wanted to play around with the web conferencing feature, and might do that at a later time, but for now, it didn’t seem worth the time.
