Google combines word processing, spreadsheets

Google launched a beta version of Google Docs & Spreadsheets. The free program lets people create, manage and share documents and spreadsheets on the Web. The program enables people to collaborate online in real time, use a variety of file formats for importing and exporting, and publish documents and spreadsheets on a Web page or blog. Google acquired the online word-processing application Writely in March and launched Google Spreadsheets in June.

Google recently opened Writely up to the public. Google also sells a product to corporations and organizations that they can offer their employees and members for free called Google Apps for Your Domain that ties together Web-based e-mail, calendar, chat and Web page publishing.

Thank you Jeanne!
