Microsoft and Facebook team up against Google Docs
Wow, it wasn’t even 24 hours since I blogged about the Microsoft Office 2010 Beta and its co-authoring abilities. Now, co-authoring isn’t anything new, if you’ve edits a Google Doc with others at the same time, then you can understand its usefulness in business.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked about how Facebook will be transforming the social web at the Facebook F8 Developer Conference. There were quite a few amazing ideas and Facebook is looking to be ubituitious across the entire web and not just on Facebook.com. Business Insider writes a better summary here: Facebook Announces Plan to Infiltrate the Entire Web.
One of the new ideas spawned Docs.com – Microsoft Office 2010 available online and tightly integrated with Facebook.
PS. I was more impressed with the expansion of Facebook Connect, but that’s another blog post.
