Google docs is very similar to what etherpad used to be. All be it far less user friendly you can watch others edit and update in real time.

- peregrine 16y agoThanks for pointing that out.
- jherdman 16y agoYes, you're right, but "albeit" is the word you're looking for, not "all be it".

- jherdman 16y agoInteresting, but dictionary.com and m-w.com claim that it's a contraction of "al(though) be it". * http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/albeit * http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/albeit
- gruseom 16y agoIt's a mandatory contraction. You can't correctly write "all be it", just like you can't correctly write "where as".
- jeff18 16y agoThere's two main differences for me. a) It takes some work to create a new Google doc and set it up for sharing. Etherpad was as simple as pasting the URL. b) Etherpad shows changes from different users with a different background color. Google Docs is invisible.
