One of the good things about trying out another platform is it breaks you out of your comfort zone. Sometimes that is a bad thing: a computer without Quicksilver feels desperately broken to me. Sometimes however you get a pleasant surprise: I was tinkering with google docs & spreadsheets earlier using it to write a document for work. After writing some of the text I clicked around to see what you could do and found some settings for publishing to your blog. And lo and behold - this post comes to you from that very tool It has been edited on my Sony Picturebook and I did a quick edit from my Powerbook while waiting for children to do things...(and even cooler when I came back downstairs the version on my picturebook contains the edits I did upstairs without needing to refresh).
So what is google docs like? Pretty nice I have to say - it has virtually no features compared to Word - but the features it does have are the ones I actually use (you know - the things to do with actually editing text....). The collaborative and sharing features are the kind I use (ie. email a document to someone) and I love the fact my documents are accessible from where ever I am without copying them across machines and ending up with 10 different versions here there and everywhere. I guess there there is a possible trust issue with Google - I might not use this for sensitive documents but for 99% of the stuff I write it seems ideal.
Mind you it didn't get the title right when I published it...
