Google Docs & Cloud Computing

I think this week's topics was my favorite yet. I've known about Google Docs for long time but I still hadn't gotten into using it before this week. I'm glad that I finally took the plunge. What an amazing tool I've been missing out on. Along with testing it out, I also downloaded the app for my chrome browser which allows users to access and edit documents while offline. I also went ahead and downloaded the app for my smartphone. I know I always talk about using the web 2.0 technology of the week on my smartphone. Being able to use an app on my phone is a big deal for me. I'm on the go a lot, and sometimes my phone is the only device that goes with me that can keep me connected to the world and to the services I enjoy. I use a Droid Incredible 2, which I love. This is one phone that actually has global roaming capabilities, so whether I'm in Michigan or Mongolia I'm going to be able to make the connections I need to. And now with Google Docs on my phone I can have continual access to my important documents. I also love the idea that I can edit and comment on others' docs if they need me to. I can't give enough praise to Google for putting cloud computing into the hands of the common man. It's easy to use, yet it has powerful functions. I'm hooked on Google Docs.
