So this weeks things are the first ones I haven't been previously aware of, and the ones I've been least enthused about. Maybe it's my age (young) or my newness to the work force but I found Google docs and Google spreadsheet to be kind of boring. Now I know for a fact that these tools are both really useful. I can see how they can be applied to library work, especially in an academic library, really easily. I even feel like a bit of a traitor for saying this, but I'm still just too used to Microsoft Word. The same thing happened when my Husband tried to switch me to open office. I think I fear change, or some fun thing like that.
One thing though, I think that I will never again choose to pay for Microsoft Office, when there are other products on the market like this one. I mean why would some one choose to shell out a hundred dollars plus when Google has almost all of the same features and you can share documents with others and even let other people edit them as well? So I guess I'm going to have to put more effort into playing with this weeks things, since we will need to be good friends soon!
