 * Google Docs** is a free, Web-based [|word processor], [|spreadsheet], [|presentation], and [|form] [|application] offered by [|Google]. It allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating (more than one person can be editing the documents at one time) in real-time with other users. You can think of Google Docs as a web-based subset of Microsoft Office. The feature set of Google Docs will satisfy the needs of most users for most applications, plus you get the advantage of collaboration within each application. This last feature is great for students or teachers working on a common project.
