Thing 19 is all about Google Docs. The application is pretty simple to navigate through and use. The advantages I can see of using this are similar to that of bookmarking sites. If you want to share a document with someone, there is no worry about whether the file(s) are on your own personal computer or is at home, as it would be accessible anywhere where there’s an internet connection. In the library world, it would helpful to share information with one another about Libraries and anything related to the field and it makes it easier to access it from one source.
However, again one would argue the point that this could be done through email. But through email, it would take much longer and you’d have to physically select all the people you’d want to share this info with. Whereas with something like Google Doc, the same information would be available in one place where anyone with permission to view the documents would be able to do so with ease. I like that Google Doc gives you the choice of who can or can’t view the file.
The link to a Google Document of mine that i’d like to share. It’s not anything library-related, but an interesting quote that’s clarified further, when certain words are highlighted in different ways:

So the next thing is all about the site ThinkFree. Ok I have to say there was an immediate downfall with the site; as it relies heavily on java, the site takes so long to load up its pages and is very slow in general consequently. And personally I think the more simple it is the better. Ease of use and navigating was one of the plus points for Google Docs.

Overall, I would say Google Docs would be a better choice, but I am not too sure about how good it is with more complicated documents that included things other than text. I will try it out when I get more time. Also I don’t think it would be a good idea to upload very personal or confidential information online on any kind of source (regardless of how trustworthy it may be), just for safety purposes in general. But for information that can be shared with everyone, I really like it very much and see myself using it regularly.
