Thing #18

Explore one or both of the free options (Google Docs) and post a blog with your opinion of the advantages and/or disadvantages of using a free online tool instead of Microsoft Office.

The advantages of using a tool such as Google docs is that it is a centrally located place to work on all different types of documents, as well as working with photos or using your mail or calendars. It posts your work so you get an "at a glance" account of when you worked on a document. You can easily share your work with others as well.

The disadvantages of using Google docs is that you have to deal with all of those pop up windows. Also, people are more unfamiliar with this so the learning curve might prevent them from utilizing this.
