There are a couple of interesting news this morning regarding the Web Office field. Adobe is buying a company called Virtual Ubiquity, developer of buzzword, and online Word Processor that runs on Adobe Flex (Flash).
Microsoft is announcing an online file management service. It will probably look a lot like the Google Apps file manager. It […]
Google announced yesterday that Presently is now available as part of their Web Office offering (now re-named ‘Google Docs’, again. I guess ‘Google Docs & Spreadsheets & Presentations’ seemed a little too long).
It comes with several realization:
1) There is very little people with whom to share geeky excitement; on the blogosphere, and elsewhere. There seems […]
Business 2.0 Magazine did a report on all the troubles Google is facing. Fake Steve Jobs had a funny take on the subject too.
For Chis Taylor, the article author, this is “the beginning of the backlash”. I like to call it “the beginning of the mojo lost“. In particular, all recent troubles don’t feel like […]
We announced a month ago that Google’s Presently was staring to go live, by enabling Gmail users to view ppt (Power Point) documents in the browser. This past months only a lucky few had the feature enabled.
Starting today, all Gmail users have the feature. Having tested it, I can now say that it is a […]
2007 might be remembered for the year Google finally lost its mojo. This past months, peaking this week, Google has been getting an ever higher heat.
Some of the critics that I have come across lately are:
Privacy concerns
This is one of the oldest, more persistent, and probably best founded concern. Google is, no doubt, collecting a […]
Google is starting to roll out a new feature for Gmail that allows the users to view attached Power Point presentations on-line. This is clearly part of ‘Presently’; Google’s take on PowerPoint. Last post was, unfortunately, a false alarm, as Ioannus pointed out in the comments.
At first glance, the feature might not impress much, and […]
Read/WriteWeb had a very interesting article of a new Web Office; ShareOffice, part of SalesForce’s AppExchange.
But the thing that caught my attention, after reading through the comments, was a screenshot of the Presentations tool. Its look and feel resembles Google Docs so much that it is hard to believe that it is not, in […]
The rumors about Presently, Google’s Power Point competitor, first disclosed by the Google Operating System Blog are now proven to be true.
This step from Google was obvious for many geeks since the release of docs & spreadsheets, and we were all just expecting this news.
What Google officially annouced is that they are close to releasing […]
As a follow up on my little contribution to Firefox’s marketing stating that you are more likely to earn more and feel younger by using Firefox, I am promoting Thunderbird now.
Even though it is not the first time - and won’t be the last - I promote Thunderbird, some recent events are motivating me.
Thunderbird […]
Read/Write Web (excellent site I forgot to mention on the March favourites post) announced the launch of yet another Online Office Suite. It now stands aside Zoho, ThinkFree, Zimbra and the much praised Google Docs.
Jim Lynch has a great article explaining why he switched from OpenOffice to Google Docs. He narrates almost my exact same […]
