Google Docs

This definitely has a place for collaboration for school and work projects. And if you travel a lot and would rather not depend on a flash drive, all your work would be available online on your URL.

I do have a couple of concerns though. What if GoogleDocs crashes when you need to access it? What about security? One time I was going to access and update books on my LibraryThing account, and it was down for at least three days straight. Data was not lost, but I was not able to access my account.

I do like how it is extremely portable and the collaboration would have been easier in grad school for all those projects.

Hi Ssklibrarian,

Good comments on google docs - I've had some of the same concerns. I guess we can't get rid of our flash drives yet! It's good to have a backup just in case the internet isn't working or you have a bad connection.

Keep on playing!
