#18 Online Productivity Tools

#18 Take a look at some online productivity tools. Write a blog post on what you have learned.
Online productivity tools such as Google Docs are very powerful concepts. They are free-of-charge and easily to use. There is no need to install or patch the software for they are maintained by the hosting server. They can be access anywhere and by anyone you wish to share it with.
Coupled with netbook* (ultra-lightweight laptop), this is a gleam of the way we work in the future. No more bulky software that take up gigabyte of memory and hours to install and maintain. No more heavy laptop. No more battery guzzling machine.
Netbook* is also known by many names, such as, thin client, ultra-portable, mini-botebook, cloud PC, etc
