Yes... I confirm it from my side... Goggle is ready to take on Microsoft...
Look at this... This is an online substitute for Microsoft Office... It is called Google Page Creator.
Though in its early development stages, it promises to be a sufficiently feature-packed tool very soon... At least feature-packed enough to meet my needs and needs of millions of people like me. Creating and editing documents on web appears a bit too weird but not when Google Page Creator is around. They've again got AJAX working for them along with a good interface design resulting into a fairly responsive web application.
You can put in images, do basic formatting like bold, itallics, text color, bullets, fonts, alignment. All in all a nice idea implemented into an excellent product. I did not really like the name though. Innovators as they are.. they could have come up with a better name I guess...
Only missing thing is a Spell Check feature (I'm sure I make more spelling mistakes than the number of words in my posts) and a Search feature for Images and Content... But looking at the overall package that is absolutely pardonable...
Prasad - also take a look at Writely (for now, it's invitation-only), and Google Notebook.
ReplyDeleteWritely is a very good replacement for Word and Wordpad (the functionality is somewhere in between), and Google Notebook is pretty much like between Notepad and Wordpad. Both are excellent applications, and I find myself storing less data on my hard disk with every passing day!
