Step 19 -- Google Docs

I can see this being an useful way to collaborate on library documents -- easier than marking it up by hand and passing it along. Wonder if we can do this at school?

The document option is very much like Word, presentation like PowerPoint, and spreadsheet like Excel (without quite as many features). I'm probably still more likely to use the Microsoft products and email it along as an attachment.

The form option was interesting and not hard to set up. The way the results came back surprised me. For some reason I didn't expect the results to come back in a spreadsheet.

This is more useful than all of the social networking sites. Those are fun "time consumers" but this could easily be used for work.
