HOME ABOUT ME OLD ARCHIVES (PRE-MARCH 2008) SUBSCRIBE Article: Google Docs … so what - the ONEreason why you should care by MICHAEL CASEY on APRIL 28, 2008 From Mike Riversdale comes this excellent post on Google Docs: Google Docs doesn’t live in the ‘document’ world. Oh it has similar naming conventions, it uses all the jargon that we’re used to and it pretends to be a document … but it’s not because it comes from the ‘words’ world view. It knows that the words you’re gonna edit are, 99.9% of the time, going to want to be loved by many more than you. And being on the Web they know that the world of connected people at your fingertips is massive. Not only is there the list of attractive people in your contacts list but there is everyone with an internet connection! …Wikis live by understanding the connectivity of their environment and the innate desire of ‘words’ to love all and be loved by all. In the future there will be no difference between a Google Doc and a wiki page … in fact, it may be so close already it’s just a matter of semantics and opinion. Read the full post here.
