Quoted: This Google Docs hack will help you know if people are reading your documents. You will also learn more details about your Google Docs traffic like where the visitors are coming from, how long they read your documents, etc.

Nice, YouTube for documents (doc, xls, pdf etc.) A bit like Slideshare. And this is a great book, though you should go out and buy it not use this pirated version.

This is a handy feature of Google Docs I didn't know about...

Quoted: A new (to us) item in the Edit pulldown menu lets you apply standard CSS styles to your Google Doc. A Google Group exists to help you work out any kinks in the process, and a Googler offers a beautiful resume template (available for you to copy into your own Docs account) all styled with CSS.

Google Docs is now offline (via Gears) -- nice!

Quoted: Microsoftの支援を受けてオープンソースで開発されていた、「Microsoft Word」（以下、MS Word）を“OpenDocument”形式に対応させるアドイン「ODF Add-in for Microsoft Word」が2日に正式公開となった。Windows NT/2000/XP上の「MS Word」XP/2003/2007に対応するフリーソフトで、現在本ソフトの専用サイトからダウンロードできる。なお、動作には.NET Framework 2.0が必要なほか、「MS Word」XP/2003で利用する場合は「Word/Excel/PowerPoint 2007 ファイル形式用 Microsoft Office 互換機能パック」も必要。

“OpenDocument”は、オープンソースのオフィス統合ソフト「OpenOffice.org」などで採用されているXMLベースのファイル形式。昨年5月にはISOによる標準規格にも認定された。一方、Microsoftも「Office 2007」でXMLベースのファイル形式“Open XML”を採用したが、同じXMLベースでもOpenDocumentとOpen XMLの間に互換性はない。

Keys to the Office kingdom.

Read the entire Cluetrain Manifesto online for free! This is one I've been meaning to get to for a while and should be great as a weekend read.

It's apparently also soon to be a major motion picture. I am reading David Weinberger's new book, "Everything is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder" and am enjoying that immensely.

Quoted: markets are conversations. talk is cheap. silence is fatal.

Because viewing documents should be easy
