It's bought by Google already. In a similar vein, what's next Google is setting its eyes on?

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, our company creates an IE 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.

The add-in has it’s purpose in providing collaboration to Microsoft Office desktop products (if it works as advertised). However, you still need the Office Suite to use it – and that defeats the purpose imo. Isn’t Google Docs a collaborative tool, already?

Technology that searches and extracts content – then distributes it to places such as Google Docs, without the need for native applications is, imo more useful. Then again, I’m biased… as my company has created such a product, PageZephyr (http://www.pagezephyr.com).

My company is starting to unit test Sharepoint projects. Would you recommend using a mock framework ? If yes which one would be best to use ?

This is a great idea, in fact I created something very similar a few months ago whereby you could collaborate in real-time just like Google Docs and also maintain versions within Word 2007 and Excel 2007. Powerpoint was on my roadmap.

Seems like a natural progresstion would be to pair this solution with other Office collaboration solutions like digital signature programs.

I was impressed by the simplicity of the product and as a result decided to write about it. Hopefully more people like it.

Nice! I was one of the early testers and was extremely impressed by how simple, yet effective the beta was. Now my entire company uses it!
