love songs & google docs: increased efficiency with vendors
There’s a great tech group in town who specifically encourages women in the Web industry — DC Web Women. I chair their events committee & regularly sleuth for partners around DC to support our special events.
Rhodeside Grill is a fine new vendor hosting our Back from the Beach party tonight; I updated and approved our contract this week via Google Docs.
Loved it. It streamlined accessibility by having one central place for the document (vs emailing drafts back and forth).
Hmm - converting our personal financial docs to Google’s platform might be an apt next project!
More from:
- DC Web Women’s fun promo video, 40 seconds
- Google’s blog: Russell Shoji in business development shares why he likes Google’s ability to make useful tools (and more on Google’s Ride Finder);
- Topix: …discusses how Google has made it ‘massively expensive’ for competitors to catch up to their platform & production.
One big thing I don’t like about Google Docs is the inability for Page Setup: you’re at the mercy of what they give you. Fix that and I might use it more. Right now, it’s more of an archive for other work for me.
