google docs etc.

Google Docs was pretty much what I expected. I tried out the document, presentation and spreadsheet. I did not actually publish any of them, but could see using them for presentations if the files they save as are readable and work well. I could see committees and other collaborative groups using these tools to easily create a document. It would be easy to modify by people in the group now, and at a later time if necessary. As Commoncraft also stated, it is good for newsletters, or any conglomerate similar. They seem to work well with some of the other social tools that i have written about previously. i had a friend that used Docs to write a screen play with a few other writers. Anything that needs to be edited by multiple people could be done in this forum.
