Google Docs Rolls Out New Features

Cup blog (coffee shop) by Brandon on 06 October 2007, tagged as google and google docs

I started a Google Spreadsheet to start systematically deciding on a name for Superbaby when I noticed Google has rolled out new features. Most notably, in my opinion, the perpetually-beta online document repository now supports presentations, as well as auto-fill in spreadsheets. (Further language support and the ability to import data from various filetypes and feeds round out the new features.)

I'm impressed with Google's persistent development of Docs. Obviously, it isn't able to compete with full-fledged word processors and spreadsheets power or performance (and I suspect the same is true of presentations, although I haven't yet used it), but I find myself using it often due to the advantages in accessibility and collaboration. As the new features continue to trickle in, I see Google Docs dominating more and more of my data organization and presentation needs. Heck, it's already found its way into planning my high school 10-year reunion, keeping our household budget, and organizing household activities. I also use it to track OmniNerd search engine results, car repairs, albums I'd like to buy, and probably 20-25 other things. Maybe it's dominating my needs already...
