Google Docs (and everything else)

Interestingly enough (or maybe not, I don't know), on the same day that I complete this assignment I see a post on the Winnefox 2.0 blog about another blog called The Googlization of Everything. The blog is written by Siva Vaidhyanathan, whom you might remember as the author of Copyrights and Copywrongs. I think it can be difficult to look at Google as anything but wonderful when they make so many of these great tools available free of charge and without even pummeling users with too many ads. Seems worthwhile to be skeptical, though.

That said, Google Docs is really slick. Late last year I uploaded our various schedules in Google Docs so that my department would have easy access to them from outside the library. The collaborative aspect hadn't really occurred to me. I can certainly see using that feature in the future.
