Is there an overview of this thing that doesn't require me to watch a video?
("A photo tells a thousand words", but I can read at 300-400 words/minute while a video typically conveys roughly 100 wpm. I don't like wasting my time and bandwidth.)
- vinay427 11y agoI agree, and that's a disingenuous quote in any case: "A photo tells a thousand words." There are many cases when the reverse is true.
- philtar 11y agoA photo tells negative one thousand words? Or a word tells one thousand photos?
- yread 11y agoA photo requires a 1000 word explanation
- vinay427 11y agoI meant the reverse as "a word tells one thousand photos," or can in some cases. Many abstract concepts can be represented by a word in modern human verbal languages, but not so easily only photos.
- trelltron 11y agoI think the existence of Pictionary as a game is a decent example of this.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoA photo may be telling a thousand words, but quite often a lot of those words have little value or relevance to the topic.
- sp332 11y agoThe video is just someone using LibreOffice in a browser. It's got file versioning and sharing and local sync that looks a lot like Dropbox. They also bolted on email and calendar features which look familiar but I can't place them. Quite impressive for a tech demo but hardly riveting. There's no narration at all.
- noja 11y agoDoes it support multiple people editing the same document at the same time?
- thomas-b 11y agoI don't think we will see that on Docx/Xlsx documents (or any other office doc) considering the way it works and the way it is stored.

- sp332 11y agoThat's notably missing from the video.
- Glyptodon 11y agoIt always amazes me how so many people don't get that this is really the central feature or Google Docs. My workplace is evaluating "productivity solutions" in some arcane months-long process, and I'd have been happy to just pick Google on day 1 because the other "solutions," despite being "cloud" solutions, still only let one person at a time edit anything. Morons in charge.
