Thing #17: Online Productivity tools: Google Docs

You can't beat Google docs. Somehow I discovered them a couple of years ago and began saving copies of work documents that I want for future use, in case I find myself working at a different library system. The portability, the ease of use, the intuitive process for uploading and/or creating a document...you just can't beat Google. No more paper files, pin drives or floppy disks (yes, some people still use them!); my work can live forever online...until they start charging a fee, of course! I also love Zoho. Both of these online tools enable people to create and save documents online without the use of Microsoft or hard drives. Fantastic! Now that is Web 2.0!
