Google Voice is amazing. We’ve been using it for about 2 years now and not sure how to live without it. You get one number to give out. That number will ring any of your predefined other numbers. Example 1: Let’s say you’re a real estate company. At night you could call forward your main number to your Google Voice number. It would then ring ALL your agents until the first one picked up. Example 2: Let’s say your organization has an “on call” doctor for emergencies. Instead, use a Google Voice number that rings all doctors at once. Of course you could simply use for personal use – your number rings your cell, work, house, etc. Google Voice has been in a closed beta for years now (previously Grand Central). Recently Google opened the doors to allow anyone to join. However, you have to sign up for an invitation. It then takes a few weeks or months to get OK’d by Google. Best part? Google Voice is free!

Share Documents Online
May 5th, 2009 |

Google Docs let’s you create files and share online instead of using MS Word or Excel. This means everyone on your team is on the same page – live. Rather than emailing a document, changing it, and re-sending it, simply post existing documents, or create new ones on Google Docs, for free. Enter your colleague’s email addresses to share and work together. Examples
Getting Started
Q and A Will I have to re-create my documents? No, you can upload your existing documents. So does this mean I see my own documents from any computer? Yes! Is this secure? You specify only those which you want to share each document with. Specify no one, or public. Is this only for documents or spreadsheets? No, Google Docs also supports presentations (like Power Point), and you can use Google Calendar for sharing events too! Our company is serious about online collaboration.
