Google Docs basically puts a free, online version of Microsoft Office at your fingertips. Once you sign up for an account, you have the ability to create documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and forms for surveys. Pretty cool right? That's not even half of it! Once you create those documents, you can export them as .doc's, .xls', .ppt's, .rtf's, .pdf's, and more. What's great about this is that your documents are stored online where you can get to them anywhere.
Another really great aspect, that's also a somewhat new feature, is that you can upload documents, presentations, spreadsheets that are saved on your computer to your Docs account. You get 1 GB of space free with the option to upgrade to more space for a low cost, but I doubt that you need to do that since 1 GB is plenty of room!
Finally, one other major seller for Docs is the ability you have to share your files with other users. Just like in calendar, you can opt to only share a file or make the file editable by your peers. This means that you could have online collaboration for working on one document!
I really think I could go on all day about Google Docs....Instead, if you're still curious about some of the other features of Google Docs, go here to see their latest additions. Oh yeah! Also, don't forget to add the Docs gadget to your iGoogle page so you can see a short list of you docs right on your iGoogle.
