Google Docs – Now in Top Gear

April 3, 2008

Finally, we see one more google product that you can use offline.

The possibilites are enormous now.

  • Offline access
  • Sync when you are online.
  • No context switch.
  • No need for the desktop word processor.

There are certain limitations right now,

  • This feature is enabled to only a small subset.
  • Only English language is supported.
  • Not yet for spreadsheet and presentation

I still need to see it on my own and see how Google docs handles

  • Conflicts when two people change the shared document.
  • Can i do spell check offline?
  • When would spreadsheet/presentation support made available.

Just arrived CMS – Google Sites

February 29, 2008

Google has just arrived with a solution for Content Management System.

They already took over Jot Spot and here is the ready integration.

This is what Google says,

Google Sites is the easiest way to make information accessible to people who need quick, up-to-date access. People can work together on a Site to add file attachments, information from other Google applications (like Google Docs, Google Calendar, YouTube and Picasa), and new free-form content. Creating a site together is as easy as editing a document, and you always control who has access, whether it’s just yourself, your team, or your whole organization. You can even publish Sites to the world. The Google Sites web application is accessible from any internet connected computer.

Definitely, more details are available.

I still think, the killing feature would be the Search engine backend from Google.
