Google Docs And Spreadsheets

Collaborate with your colleagues over the Internet using shared spreadsheets and word documents by using Google's free Docs and Spreadsheets (Beta) Web application. Only you and the folks you select can access these online documents. Upload existing documents or create new ones online, and then share them remotely with your colleagues. The documents are stored securely on Google's servers, so no need to worry about snoops.

Use a Web browser to edit your documents from anywhere: at the office, at home, at school, from a hotel while on travel, or anywhere else one may imagine. Best yet, you and your remote colleagues can share and edit the documents at the same time. Document revisions list who changed what and when to help keep track of multiple collaborators' edits.

Need your own copy? Export a copy of the document to your hard drive. Worried that your spreadsheets and documents on your hard drive may be lost during a data disaster? Store a copy of them online with Google's Docs And Spreadsheets. The convenient auto-save while working online with Google's Docs And Spreadsheets helps prevent data losses due to power outages or Internet disconnections.

This Web application has the look and feel of common Office programs, so they'll be familiar, and productivity won't drop while learning how to use the application. When finished with the document, publish it online as a Web page with a single mouse click. When it's published, choose whether the whole world may view it, or certain people you select may view it, or no one else at all may view it. These documents can even be posted to a blog if desired.

Be warned that the Web application is a bit slow, and of course it's still in beta, so don't expect too much.
