Loving Google Docs
Google’s shared doc’s is soooo useful. If you have more than one person working on the same document Google Docs will save so much aggravation and time.
Gone are the days of emailing a spreadsheet, word document or other document around to people and letting then edit it and waiting for it to come be emailed back to you.
With Google docs, many people can work on a document at the same time and you will all see the newest version.
When we did use it with multiple users – it was actually fun to get the work done.
Google docs provides some incredible functionality – just read the official blog for some great tips (link below)
Even if you are the only one working with your documents, its so nice to have them all in one place, and accessible from anywhere.
The only bad point is if your internet connection is down you cannot get to them, but thankfully I, for one, am surrounded by redundant access points most of the time.
What really blows my mind is that so many people will not use it! I have worked on several projects the past few months where collaboration was the key. A few people involved just refused to try it and insisted that we just keep emailing documents to each other. How crude! Those who jumped in and tried it – love it.
You can lead a horse to water, but can’t make him drink.
If you have not tried it – you can also take Google Docs for a test run without an account (link below). Very cool to experiment, demo and learn on the test site.
