Google, I want to have sex with you. And your Docs.
Perhaps I was living under a rock, but today I discovered Google Docs, and now my life will never be the same. Once I was mystified by what Google Docs was. Was it a doctor? Was it a new form of Power Point? I NEEDED TO KNOW.
So, I stopped making love to my Google Calendar for two seconds and clicked on the Docs link, and Jesus, I sure am glad I did.
Watch this video, and I dare you to not pop a nerd boner. I DARE YOU.
**UPDATE**
*The only pain in the ass thing, is that if you're uploading something to Google Docs from Vista, you have to put it into the Word/Excel/Power Point 1997-2003 format. If you don't...FAIL.
*Also, you can access your Google Docs on your crackberry/mobile/cell phone by going to http://docs.google.com/m

OMG! If I can get people at work to use this, my life becomes, um, tolerable from 7:30 to 4:30!
Thanks for the post!

It's also possible to use the space on your gmail account as storage. Google docs are limited by the types of files they support.

I've recently found out that you can use google calendar with outlook and thunderbird as well.
Our company just invested in a similiar program through MOSS (Microsoft Office Sharepoint Service) its very similiar. It creats a portal that we can have different people/clients log into and very status of their orders and also issue complaint tickets. Its very cool. But so is Google Docs
