Google is your new Watercooler

Tons of new tools coming out for Google.

One of the things that Google is really focusing is on the ability to share - photos, articles, news, questionnaires, files – it’s all there, in various products being developed by Google. If you already have a Gmail account, you already have access to many of these features.

Here are some highlights:

  1. Photos with Picasa – manage both your images on your computer and online – and then share photo albums with groups of friends, colleagues, or family, or the world
  2. Google DocsDocuments and files with Google Docs – now with the ability to create very easy forms for polling data. This has a myriad of uses. Need to get the opinion of a dozen or so colleages quickly? Create the form, then broadcast the form through your Gmail account
  3. Manage your work and play schedule with Google Calendar -  you probably know this one already, but Calendar is evolving – and gaining speed. Share a calendar with a group of people, set permissions to view, edit, anything – then post that calendar on any HTML file you have. GCalendar also has syncing functions with many popular PIMs.
  4. Collaborate with Google Groups – want to collaborate faster than ever before? Groups is the tool, and will allow you to upload files, broadcast post to interest groups, and search for other Groups to join.

Start sharing for free!
