I sincerely dig the word processor in Google Docs. It's quite good at handling multiple concurrent editors, and you can post to other platforms like WordPress from there.
The recently added Folders feature is killer, and my Google Docs "list view" has started to become like an Inbox for me in the beginning of my day, as it neatly displays newly edited, and newly added docs.
- jeff18 17y agoGoogle Docs was awesome at the time, however, it is not really a real-time collaborative text editor. You have to coordinate your edits so that you are not working on the same thing, otherwise you create conflicts which are a pain in the ass. Once you use a real-time collaborative editor like EtherPad, you can never go back to something like Docs, it's too primitive.
- thesethings 17y agoI've never had to coordinate when I'm in the same doc as somebody at the exact same time. But I don't dispute your account. It's actually a quite interesting observation of how differently we all work. In any case, I'll be following this thread. Tools aside, i think the topic is one of the most transformative things going on.
