New Google Application Announced

Google has announced the anticipated Presentation application for its current suite of free online office components. The Official Google Blog "birth announcement" states that, following Google's acquisition of Tonic Systems, we can expect the addition this summer. This puts their online suite into a very favorable position to be the most powerful and useful available. When combined with Gmail and all of its secondary features, Docs & Spreadsheets, Google Earth, SketchUp,the unofficial Gspace online storage application (possibly soon to have a future official version?), Google Toolbar, Picasa, Picasa Web Albums, Blogger, a personalizable Home Page, AdSense, Google Pack of additional free software ..... Oh, you get the idea. I'm not certain what the best thing was before sliced bread, but Google must surely be a prime candidate for anything since. While we are in a Googly mood, pay a visit to Google Labs technology playground to see what's new, and to Nancy Blachman's Google Guide to find out things you didn't even suspect about Google's search abilities. I have come nowhere near listing all that Google offers, but my brain hurts.

People may or may not know by this time that Microsoft is offering, free of charge and no strings attached, a download or CD of Microsoft Office Accounting Express either here or here. Ordering the free CD is probably better as this is a 208MB download and arrives almost as quickly by mail as it would take on dial-up. What you may not know is that Microsoft Office Live is offering a free basic website with free registered domain name, multiple email accounts, and a site builder with some very professional templates to advertise your practice or sell items. Of course, they want you to be successful so that you buy a more complex site and other services. Overall, this is an excellent product and a good manner in which to market it.

Peace, Doc
