Look-y what I can do! (with Google Docs)

I also have my resume and a spreadsheet for tracking my weight and blood glucose up and working.

One nice thing, too, is that Google Docs isn't blocked by my organisation (actually so far I've only found that YouTube, MySpace, and presumably Facebook are). I'm not allowed to blog at work (long story), hence why I am behind on blogging, but Blogger itself isn't blocked.

As to our assignment, the question is whether or not this is the future of all software products? I'm not sure about that, but it sure may be for products that would benefit from collaboration, because basically there's no need for multiple copies of the software if it's hosted online, it's portable, and presumably not too difficult to use.

It took me a little while to get to where I could insert rows into my spreadsheet and get some of the formatting, etc., but it didn't take more than a few minutes to get the gist of it. There was a little lag when I uploaded my spreadsheet, but it had several worksheets. The graphics didn't translate up from Excel, but it was easy to create new ones in Google Docs (I actually prefer theirs).

For any sort of shared project, I think this is an excellent way to go.

PS Since I use Gmail, Google Reader, and now Google Docs, I threw in the Calendar as well. It's fun. I've already printed out sheets for the roleplaying game I play in and have added dates for moon phases and pagan holidays. Yay!

And now I'm caught up! Double yay!
