Title: Google taking over planet, part 21 (docs & spreadsheets)

You can login with your google (i.e. gmail, etc) account and check it out.  Pretty nifty at first observation especially since you don't need to install anything.

hmm...maybe some sort of functionality changed then?  There was a big article on it this week.  Oh well, can't win 'em all :D

Well, the only thing that I've noticed change over the last 5 months they've been running it (been using it, very handy!) is that there is a link at the top of Gmail and other various Google services. Except there is no link on the top of the personalized homepage for some reason! Maybe that change helped some columnists realize it was available. :)
