the office rush
September 18th, 2007 | by geo |It has arrived – Google launched the online presentation software today that now completes their office suite. I can begin my official transition off of Microsoft Office products. The ease of use and collaboration tools offered by Google are simply unmatched, and their vision to provide device agnostic, access independence to services is the right way to go.
IBM also released a free office suite today, and Yahoo just purchased online email and doc sharing company zimbra for $350M. The space is heating up, and it simply means more options and better software for all of us.
My plan is to store everything on google services, and use google as my home base. All of my email, contacts, documents, spreasheets, preso’s, (images on flickr..), will be on google. I can access them from anywhere in world, and if I drop my computer or lose it, no worries, because I wouldn’t really lose anything.
If you stop and think about it …this is really powerful. Update to one place and access/share from anywhere, with any device (laptop, mobile whatever…)
The few limitations….I still can’t sync with my google contacts, and I do have to be online to use google docs. However, they have a product (Google Gears) that will soon let you work offline and then sync back up when you’re back on. Problem solved. In the meantime, I’ll still use office on flights and offline mode.
Lastly – Yahoo now offers unlimited email. Google is still at 2GB email storage. Once they have unlimited mail there’s basically no reason to ever download your email either.
It just feels good to be one step close to not being dependant on a computer…or worried about losing it, password protecting etc…
Sorry for the very boring tech post,!.
