Web-Based Apps Discovery Exercise #21

This exercise was one of the easier ones. I have been using Google Docs for years and have a variety of documents saved in various folders (documents, spreadsheets, powerpoint presentations, etc.) I find it easier to write certain items in Google Docs because then they are "portable", meaning I can access that document from almost any computer with Internet access--no floppy discs, no flash drives; just log-in and type. I considered using Zoho Writer (as suggested in SPPL Learning 2.0), but then decided I have way too many accounts in too many places on the Web as a result of participating in Learning 2.0 and I really don't want to add to another. So, I stayed with what I know: Google Docs.

One thing I did learn from this exercise, however, is that it is possible to write in Google Docs and publish a post to your blog. (I have "shared" douments before, but never posted one to a blog.) Let's see how well that works...
