First, Google Docs : This is the new Google-ized Writely wordprocessor. The cool thing about it is that it posts to Blogs, in additional to doing all of the the other standard stuff, like saving to Word, etc. It also allows for collaboration, in a sort of Wiki like way.
I really like it. Like Google, the interface itself, it’s clean and doesn’t have the bloat of even the best wordprocessors, like Microsoft Word for Mac. The other thing about it is that it doesn’t have the psychological overhead of a computer based word processor where you have to go and figure out where to save that document on your hard drive so that you can find it later to e-mail to someone. I’ve never understood that. It has just about everything you need, plus it saves to any format, plus PDF. I know that Word is the standard in the business world, but this definitely gives Microsoft a run for its money.
Only slight complaint is that it can be sluggish when doing things to a document, like inserting a URL, or saving. However, it is completely tuned for Web 2.0, with tagging, posting to blogs, and other stuff that Microsoft should have done a long time ago instead of focusing on pretty tables. Is there hope that the Microsoft Mac Office in 2007 will be able to post to Wordpress?
This posting is too long already, so I’ll talk about Nike Free another day. I like those, too.
Update: The tags and title didn’t come through when posting from Google. So it’s still in beta…
