PC World Readers Select Google Apps Top Product of Year
On the heels of my post of yesterday indicating that “geeks” like Google Docs and Zoho Writer as their word processor choice, PC World readers have chosen Google Apps, including its online Docs facility, as #1 among the Top 20 Products of the Year.
This word processor has proven to be quite capable at most tasks writers throw at it and offers some features that make it particularly attractive. Documents can be saved as PDF files, which may help writers product their own eBooks at no cost. The feature most mentioned, however, is the ease of collaboration, allowing other readers to comment and even edit a document. Editors at publishing houses and magazines are learning how much better it is to use Google Docs than sending Word documents back and forth as email attachments.
In recent months, Google has begun to interlink its various services, making it easy to jump from documents to calender to email and other services. The major flaw, for many writers anyway, is the requirement that users be online. A couple of competitors in the online word processing arena are targeting this very matter and are developing software that offers both online and offline capability, automatically syncronized.
