I’ve been trying Google’s new Docs program and it’s pretty great. It’s quick to start typing new documents, and the saving is automatic. It’s a good place to write down notes, and since it’s on the internet, I could do it from anywhere. The other option would be to constantly carry around a USB drive or e-mail myself notes. I’m not using it for my longer writing projects since a typing delay occurs. Letters appear a few microseconds after I type them. The editing quality of the word processor is pretty basic, but it is sufficient for a portable word processor. Tables can be edited easily. Documents can be saved on the server or published to a blog.
I haven’t seen any revenue generating advertisements on the side by Google. They would take up space on the workspace, but I’m guessing they’ll inevitably appear. With their acquisition of JotSpot, the abilities of the program should improve since I saw the JotSpot website a couple of years ago and it was much more advanced than Google's current offering.
