Blog #1 - "Google Docs"

Personally, I am extremely new to Google Docs. I had absolutely no idea what to do at first but after the tutorial in class and my practice post, I became a bit more, but not quite extremely, comfortable with it. What I didn't like about it was that even though it is a collaborative work environment, there was no form of communication, other than the posts themselves, with my classmates. I was also fearful that if I accidentally clicked onto someone else's post, that I would possibly mess up their hard work. If I was able to correct anything, or add anything to the existing software, I would definitely create some sort of messaging system where those working on the same document would be able to communicate with each other and possibly make their experiences easier. Something similar to an AOL instant message or iChat.
