Online Documentation (and sharing)

We have seen so many technologies and applications coming up, reaching the new heights or fading in the oblivion. But there are some great things always coming. In last 3-4 days, I found these (really) interesting concepts maturing to products. The idea is very simple, online document sharing.

Try these 2 (& you don’t need to download and install anything)

In my opinion, these will be “must have” tools for mobile work force. Think of changing/updating the excel sheet from Palm Treo or Blackberry (no saving of big file or sending huge attachment). Or think of giving ownership on the based of sheet within one file so that multiple owner can update together.

Yes, Microsoft is big and will surely fight back. That will be best. I am hoping, my next to next computer will not have any memory hungry MS office tool..
Or as Charles De Gaulle once commented to his officer (on the greatness of some people in his administration): "The graveyards are full of indispensable men."

Day is a short time (Truveo is AOL)

In this Internet bussiness "day" is short span/time. Yesterday, I found a really good video search engine (Truveo). I was about to put the post on blog. This is (was) great site, much better than google. (http://www.truveo.com/) And just today, AOL bought this company. Although AOL record with acquisition is terrible. Lets hope, this time, they use some brains...
(AOL si not telling, how much furtune is burned for this 12 employee company)
