Google Docs, part duex

So I made my husband co-editor of my first Google document, just so I could explore it as a sharing tool. So far it's pretty cool but I still need to stress test it to see how robust it is. One thing that bothers me is that it seems to not register all of my keystrokes. It misses at least one every two words. This doesn't happen in blogger so it's not my keyboard. If anyone has an idea to fix it I offer chocolate in return, the extra time needed to edit is very annoying.

Just like Microsoft, only better?

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!
