Mmmm…The Google gods have given us another pot of gold. Another brick of platinum. Another…really sweet Web2.0 application.
GoogleDocs is a Google invention that allows many different internet users to upload, edit, and share documents with other users. It works much like a word document, where users can edit font, add break lines, images, embedded objects, and a lot of other different things.
The Babson Free Press (the online and print student newspaper of Babson College) has used a Google Document to manage many of their projects. They’ve benefited from the product because they’ve been able to eliminate most of their meetings, and increase productivity ten-fold.
Although, with every product there are their drawbacks. What can’t GoogleDocs do? Well, there are some limitations to Google Docs. At first, it is a bit frustrating to edit the document as it takes time to figure out the Google language of editing. If you do run into a point and scream “WHY IS IT DOING THIS!?” just have patience.
While you’re at GoogleDocs, check out Google’s other inventions in the Google lab. Many more “Googventions” will show up on this blog, but don’t wait for that. Check out the magic that is Google.
