Connecting what people already do in tool they are accustom to using is genius. I look forward to DocVerse and can't wait to begin using this for all my information.
DocVerse never made any sense to me. It's an Office add-on implementation of features that will soon ship with Office 2010. But I guess it's not such a silly product after all if google is willing to pay for it.
Is google a little scared of Office 2010. Seems they should be. Google Docs is for note taking at best, not serious business documents. Perhaps DocVerse functionality will make it more competitive.
I'd never heard of DocVerse, but I watched their demo video today and I can't wait to see how they are integrated into Google Docs! This is very exciting!!!
Seems like "another great work is on the way".. Google sollutions fits both business and personal/social needs. It's really nice to hear news from you. Thanks alot for all the usefull stuff.
I hope that they extend this functionality to iWork on the Mac. Apples own iWork online is nice, but GDocs will be much more universal. I welcome any plug in that allows me to easily save or upload my docs from iWork.
Acquiring of Docverse is a good move in right direction by Google. People who started using google applications for every productivity tasks would find the addition very exciting.
"Hello, I am the fan of GoogleDocs - where can I find more info about DocVerse or... what does it mean exactly? Thanks!" >>> Use the power of Google my friend: http://www.google.com/search?q=DocVerse
I have been using Google Docks more and more. The MS deathgrip on their format stops me from working with others. I can't wait to see the added functionality!
The web based collaboration is getting its way. It?s a good idea for plugging into the original app itself. Google Doc is a half way work since it is only a subset of MS Office. People more like and get used to the things they already are familiar with. Google Doc is not a MS Office, And Google can not re-invent every popular app other companies provide, such as MS Office, Photoshop, Auto Desk. So creating a less equivalent version of web based might not be a good practice even for a gaint company like Google.
Plugging to the original app is better solution, I think. Following the scenario, one company creates a web browser collaboration app so users can collaboratively watch youtube or hulu movies with each other. The link: http://www.toponode.com. It's the first youtube collaboration tool ever have
Forcing people to use your internet services by promoting the cloud as the next wave is not a responsible course of action. Google now reminds me of Microsoft in its heyday.
Google... You guys are the best. I've been using Google Docs with it's nifty collaboration features for several years. Now my less my friends who have been tied to their desktop software will be able to do likewise. Will all the files be interchangeable?
@Eugene as an author of OOo2GD I must admit that my OOo2GD is far behind DocVerse, DocVerse is powerful tool for collaboration where in the same time more than one person can work on document. Results of this collaboration may be uploaded to Google Docs. OOo2GD gives you only possibility to upload your documents to Google Docs, without this whole "working on the same document in the same time" thing. I hope I will be able to add some similar features in future, and maybe Google will bought also me ;p
when you look at the business processes you run in desktop software- especially Excel, you probably do not agree totally with "The future of productivity applications is in the cloud." How does the cloud work when you're offline. How do you mature your data and then share it-- there's a lot of what-if that needs to happen before you're ready to share your updates. In the near term, "data" should be in the cloud where appropriate- especially for forecasts and other planning processes. Companies like Boardwalktech are bridging the gap-- data in the cloud and processing on the desktop.
I too hope you'll add DocVerse support for OpenOffice (OOo) & not just on Linux! Yes, the largest user base is MS Office but, unless you start including better support for its competitors, it hampers those alternatives & makes it less likely they'll make as much headway in adoption. Imagine a world of Google Apps combined with FLOSS applications to compete against the MS machine! If Google can't replace the MS desktop apps with something else, it makes it harder to convince clients to move to Google & away from MS - especially since they'll have their own cloud offerings.
greeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaattt!!!!!
ReplyDeletethanks google for making docs more useful ! i use google docs much. its just awesome ! thanks to google team ;-)
ReplyDeleteConnecting what people already do in tool they are accustom to using is genius. I look forward to DocVerse and can't wait to begin using this for all my information.
ReplyDeleteI constantly tout how great Google is for human people on my site. You guys keep adding icing to this already elaborate cake of technology. Thanks!

Funny, for some useful programs I hear when it is already too late to signup. First etherpad, now docverse.
ReplyDeleteArrrgghhh! Now I've just found out about this wonderful new product I can't use it as you've disabled downloads!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea but......
ReplyDeleteDo we have to wait 3 years to use it like with Grand Central?
Wondering why did Microsoft pick this up? This would be a good addin to the next suite of office applications which includes online collaboration.
ReplyDeleteWill this acquisition make it possible to finally insert a workable image into a spreadsheet on Google Docs?

ReplyDeleteA huge welcome also from some Dutch Google nerds. Thanks for joining! This Will be great!
ReplyDeletegreat news...now I will have more trainings to conduct in school...love Google
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely the tipping point I have been waiting for to finally decide our move to Google Apps for our companies.
ReplyDeletewell done
ReplyDeleteI have a great idea to enhance the two products. who should I be contacting?
ReplyDeletemy e-mail is idea@ex-press-sense.com
Great!
ReplyDeletehello, where can i find this app to download..?
ReplyDeleteI hope this will be able to use Secure Data Connector.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of one company who has done more to advance the human experience. Google has my vote and so does google docs. Thumbs up guys!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that they extend this functionality to iWork on the Mac. Apples own iWork online is nice, but GDocs will be much more universal. I welcome any plug in that allows me to easily save or upload my docs from iWork.

ReplyDeleteAre you planning anything similar for Linux users and OpenOffice?
