Google Docs

This is what happens when you have your nose to the grindstone (read office desktop) and don't have the opportunity to Learn & Play like we have had in the past few months. I have worked on several projects in the past few months where having Google Docs up and running for same would have been such a boon. (love that word) And that fact that you can email documents to the account for uploading and work is just way cool. Many projects are winding down now because of the end of the year, and those fateful performance appraisals, but I'm looking forward to using Google Docs in 2009. The simplest advantage will be not having to create a document, then email it out to everyone for comment or changes, and then have them email it back and incorporate those changes. We also won't have to come from all over the county for a group work meeting - saving time and gas. We set up our phones for a conference call, put them all on speaker, and then we all log in and we can complete in an afternoon, what used to take a week or more. Does this mean I'll actually be more productive at work? Don't let Admin. know.
