Google Docs is the latest and greatest word processor to date. It consists of the most used applications such as a word processor, a spreadsheet program and a presentation program.

One of the major differences is that a few people can easily access the file at the exact same time, edit the file, sort of like an E-conference. Google Docs is used 4.4 million times in september of 2008. Originally google docs existed as a beta project called writley. But of course being the emporer of the internet world and soon the world, took over the samll company and it became google docs.

The small company named upstartle which was made up of 4 employees was taken over by the world super power google. Upstartle which was working on writley then started to edit the program to conform to the demands of google. And since the release of google docs in late 2006, the online word processor has become an invaluable resources for companies big, small and even for people who need a free word processor and be able to store documents online.

Recently my English teacher gave us a project, with the help of google docs it made it possible for me and my partner to be able to view the documents by using thw world wide web. Not only could you look at the documents, they could also be edited in real time.

Here is a simple video on how to access google docs so you can use all of its wonderful features.

Favorite Vacation

My favorite vacation that i went on was when i went to Destin, Florida. It was nice because it is a undiscovered part of Florida with many beaches and places to have fun. I reccomend it as a vacation place. It was fun.

Twitter started out as a website designed to quickly send updates about your life in-between instant messaging and blogging. Blogging has been around for almost a decade, blogs can consist of the wildest things ever witnessed or simply how the spaghetti you ate tasted like worms.

But the problem is, people don’t always have a computer at their finger tips so blogs aren’t always in real time. Twitter started out as a small website in 2006 and since then it has become a huge social networking sites favored by many.

Even today Twitter is expanding evermore into our lives even if you do not use it. Just by browsing Verizon’s texting phones, most of their phones come with a pre installed Face book and Twitter app. Twitter has such an impact on people’s lives that companies are making pushes to make it a lot easier. But with success that twitter has brought to bloggers and followers, the social networking site can be used for bad.

Recently Burglars or robbers have turned to the networking giant to decide when its best to break in. By becoming a follower you receive all or most of the blogger's “tweets” and if you are able to learn their schedule Twitter can be abused.

As you can see by this graph, twitter is known for both its pointless babble and controversial tweets. Just by looking at this graph you can see a few of the many ways twitter can be used to become and integral part of people’s lives.
