Week 5 - Web Office Tools

Since I already have a google account, it is very easy to create and save a document in Google Docs. I am pleasantly surprised to know it is quite easy to navigate the spread sheet and edit it. It took me a bit longer to creat a presentation. But it is fun to insert an image to the presentation.
After using the Google Docs and checking out Microsoft Office Live, I found
athough it's very close when it comes to basic features of the two services, each stands out in its own way. They both allow for sharing of a file by checking
the "share" from the menu.
Google Docs, although limited in its capabilities, offers real-time collaboration. Office Live Workspace, on the other hand, may not have the collaboration features of Google Docs, but the workspaces feature is unique. From within the workspace, you can click "edit" to open the file with the Microsoft office program.
