Google Docs Analysis


Google Docs is a free, web bases word processor, spreadsheet, presentation and form application by Google. It allows it's users to create and edit a huge database of documents, in real time. This means that people all over the world can collaborate on a single document, bringing in tons of outside information.

At first, Google launched this application as two separate ones; Google Writely, and Google Spreadsheet. They combined these two application, and added a third one for presentations, to form Google Docs.

Google Docs unitizes cloud computing, which means that all this information is saved on the internet (cloud) and not on the users actual computer. This means that all of these things can be accessed from any internet connected computer in the world. There are many other document sharing cloud computing websites on the web, but the thing that makes Google Docs so amazing is that it is completely free.

Unlike other networking sites, Google Docs is not very social. It is an easy way to send, save and share documents on the internet, but not really to communicate.
