About the Author
  • Computers, video games and TVs have always been fascinating to me. Not only are they wonderful ways to relax, but they’re also immensely useful as tools. Computers allow us to communicate instantly with family members across the country through e-mail, video games allow us to make friends with people across the globe we wouldn’t even meet otherwise, and TVs allow us to see what’s happening in our very own towns…all at the touch of a button. Sure, over time I’ve managed to assemble a collection of other electronic gadgets that would make most people do a double-take, but that just isn’t enough. I want to know how they work. I want to know why they work. I want to know that I can connect every electronic device in my home into a single, fully-functional network that I can access from over 1,000 miles away at the drop of a hat. Not because I have a reason to do so, but because I can. I am a geek, plain and simple.

In the past, you would’ve been required to either e-mail documents or copy them onto external media if you wanted to share them with your family and friends.  Those days have come and gone now and there currently exist a number of publicly available online tools that allow you to easily create, edit and share documents.  Here’s a brief overview of two of those services:

 

 

Google Docs


Google Docs is a free web-based service provided by Google.  It includes word processing, spreadsheet creation and presentation tools that allow multiple computer users to collaborate on the same project in real time.  It also allows you to upload documents directly to the Web for viewing by others or distribution via e-mail.

 

Want to keep your documents private?  Google Docs lets you to control who views your documents.  You can even choose to publish them as a web page, post them on a blog or share them with a group – then make them private again at any time.

Docs.com


Docs.com is an online editing suite similar to Google Docs.  It’s the collaborative effort of Microsoft FUSE Labs and Facebook and offers computer users the ability to create, modify and share Office documents with their Facebook friends.  It even allows you to create documents online without having Office software installed on your computer.

 

Don’t want to bookmark the website?  You can easily integrate the service into the Profile Tab of your Facebook account.  User generated templates also allow your family and friends to make copies of the documents you post, then respond back with any changes they make.
