    An online real-time multi-user document editor - you can create documents without signing in. Very nicely done.

    Scribd Steps Up Its Game With iPaper

    Scribd's iPaper Flash viewer for documents is pretty amazing - the Book mode with animated page flipping is particularly cool.

    A great explanation of what Google Docs is all about - and why you would want to use it. Looks like Google hired CommonCraft (Seattle) to make this "PaperWorks" demo video. These are always really well done and simple to understand.

    Windows has blocked access to these files to help protect your computer

    Another case of Microsoft's "cure" being worse than the disease. I can't extract a ZIP'ed files download from Google Documents, and it tells me that the file is potentially dangerous, so it won't let me open it.

    Here's the rub, unlike the dialog shown here, I don't have an "Unblock" option in my file properties - so I'm just flat locked out of a file I want to open.

    ... I think I traced my particular problem to an invalid ZIP file. The file names include a ":" character, which, I guess, is not allowed. Even WinZip was refusing to open these files (though it told me correctly that it was a file name problem, and not a security problem - MS gave me the WRONG ERROR MESSAGE).
