Google Docs is most often blocked by organizations.
- jrockway 15y agoI assumed by "research institution" he meant a university, which doesn't really care about "leaks" like Big Corporations do. Then again, there are quite a few big corporations on Google Apps.
- jonknee 15y agoCitation? Google Docs is often used at organizations (they even pay for it!). There's a reason why Microsoft is moving into the same territory with Office 365--businesses require collaboration and emailing docs around is incredibly bad at accomplishing that. Even more telling is MS stopped Office Live which didn't edit online in favor of Office 365 which does edit online. It's just a matter of time before it switches and the desktop version is an add-on while the cloud version is standard.

- twodayslate 15y agoI am talking about the federal government that may handle sensitive information - not local government. Where important things are done they do not use Google Apps. They use Microsoft Exchange for email and .DOCX for word documents.
- jrockway 15y agoNOAA is the federal government and is pretty important. Unless issuing tornado warnings and forecasting hurricanes is not important, that is.
