Great Post. So many companies are still using Microsoft word and struggling with sharing documents. I imagine more will adapt to these new programs available in the future. Google seems to be coming up with so many new projects. I’m sure in the future Google will be competing in many more markets.

This is all very well and good. Think about how difficult it is to have someone sit over your shoulder and edit/write/discuss a Word document with you? Shouldn’t we improve the way we do this before we get all excited about Word Web Wrangling?

Nice post, Rashmi! It’ll be really interesting to see how the document collaboration space finally shapes up. Personally, I like all three MS Office, Google Docs, and Slideshare for their strong points:

MS Office–Rich (desktop) document authoring
Google Docs–Easy collaborative authoring n sharing
Slideshare–Easy sharing of read-to-share docs with an wider audience

What would really take the all this to the next level is a platform that combines the strengths of all the above three.

Best,
Sam
