It's not just I love the computing world, I saw another penetration by Google service this morning.
Called it as Google Docs
You can review this service at http://docs.google.com
I love it - the concept is building around word processing and spreatsheets as browser-based applications!
You don't need to have installed local application such as Microsoft Word and Excell, or Open Office inside your machine, as long as you have internet connection and google account, you can touch and work on documents.
I could mention many benefits using Google Docs.
- Data Persistence - you won't get any pain/worry to look for and chase data. It's always a backup and you can put any trust in Google storage. It has a revision track changes! You keep your data in the office, then somehow your office move out/your harddisk fails to start/incorrect backup/no electrical, etc.
- Eliminate Synchronizing Files - I believe that you have more than one machine, one at office, one or more at home. Document should be located in one place from the Get-Go, sync file may cause irritating problems, to eliminate conflict while you do synchronization of your file in many machines, misplaced files, or any accidental overwrites.
I would admit there's a few limitation on Google Docs (remember Beta version!) such as 5,000 files, max size = 1 MB for spreadsheet. It's still a brilliant collaboration tool for writer (may be blogger as well), and allowing instant communication to change between editorial team. Current Google Docs can allow maximum 11 users to open the file.
I can say that web-delivered application has a future, no doubt!
