I just stumbled upon this neat little YouTube video that explains how GoogleDocs works and also shows how writers can become more efficient with their time.

Thought some of you here might find this information helpful.

excellent! I'm signing up! thanks Stephen!

Here's another tip:

If you have a YouTube account, you can subscribe to Google's videos. This will give you an email update when they release a new one.

This is one method to keep up with what Google is up to.

Of course, you may subscribe to any person's or organization's videos on YouTube.

Thanks Stephen - that all looks good on the surface, but have you read their terms and conditions? Their applications sound great, but statements like...

and...

...are really scary!

Maybe I'm just paraniod, but the thought of having only one copy of an important document stored only online scares the heck outta me.

Thanks for the link to the video though! That was a cool presentation and a great use of fishing line!

Thanks everyone for your comments (especially yours, Steve).

Like they say, "there's no such thing as a free lunch".

In concept (and on the surface), it has its benefits, but there is a (potential) price to pay.

Anyone else here used this service? Has your experience been positive or negative?

Thanks.

Yeah, I thought it was a cool video. Not professional, but a down to Earth
presentation that anyone could understand.

I've been using google docs for a while, mostly during draft stage when I'm plodding back and forth between the desktop and the laptop -- trying to "get comfotable" or some other form of procrastination

I always save my files to my local pc when I'm done at the end of my session, and delete them from google when I'm finished.

Wow, what a surprise...Microsoft and Adobe are both throwing their hats into the online software ring!
