Google launches Google Docs & Spreadsheets

Search engine giant Google has finally launched a merged version of their two online applications Writely and Google Spreadsheets. This new service has been named Google Docs & Spreadsheets.

This new service integrates the two applications providing a common interface to manage documents and spreadsheets.

The company seems to have taken suggestions from their users. It also is part of the company’s strategy to group its many individual online services into fewer sets. We just might see them adding more applications and services to Google Docs & Spreadsheets in the coming months.

This new service also now enables the user to publish spreadsheets and word processing documents to an HTML page. They can even make the documents and spreadsheets available as online pages to share with others in read only mode.

We at TechWhack tested out this web-based suite and found it to be pretty stable and impressive. This particular article has in fact been written on Google Docs and Spreadsheets.

With a word processing application and a spreadsheet application already available, Google just needs an online presentation maker to somewhat complete this set of online office productivity suite. And we are pretty sure that they are already working on developing something like that.
