This weeks G-App
I've found an awesome Chrome extension for some weeks ago and wanna show you guys it, its called Cortex it lets you share a webpage on for example Facebook and Twitter, just by holding your left mouse button down for over a second, when you do that a circle with your social network appears you drag your mouse to one of them and then its shared.
Unfortunately it can't share on Google Buzz, that's why i only wanna give it 4 out of 5 G's.

Introducing discussions in Google Docs
Introducing discussions in Google Docs: "When we launched the new Google Docs last April, one of the big changes was moving comments to the sidebar and letting people reply to comments. Today, we’re updating comments in Google Docs to facilitate rapid and seamless discussions and integrate with email in an intuitive way. Since there are a number of significant improvements, this update is only available for newly created documents for now.
To start, we’ve improved the discussion flow by adding ownership and edit rights to individual comments. Each comment now has a timestamp and profile picture.
Google Docs doesn’t force you to delete comments. Instead, you can resolve comments to remove them from the visible document and view them later by clicking the discussions button at the top of any document. You can even re-open comments from here.
We know you can’t watch all of your important documents all day to see if there are any suggestions, which is why we’ve integrated comments with your inbox to facilitate more rapid and responsive communication. You can now add someone to a discussion with an @mention. For example, typing @eddy@altostrat.com in a discussion will send a notification email to Eddy with the text of your comment.
Eddy gets a message in her inbox with your question or comment.
She can easily click through to open the document itself to respond, or simply reply to the email.
The reply will show up in the document as soon as the email is sent.
To turn off email notifications for a document, just select Mute updates from this comment at the bottom of any email or select Discussion notification settings... from the Discussions drop down.
We've been using this next-generation commenting system inside Google for several months and have seen it make the feedback cycle shorter and get more people involved. The combination of added structure and intuitive email integration have really given life to the discussions that surround our documents, and we're excited for this new feature to do the same for you.
Discussions will be available over the next few days to all users with personal Google Accounts as well as to Google Apps customers on the Rapid Release track. Please note that improved comments are only available in new documents at this time so if you want to try it out make sure to create a new document. The comments you’ve created in existing document won’t be changed.
We’re excited to hear what you think so let us know on in the comments.

This trick works, unfortunately not in Google Docs, which will continue to be logged in from your primary account, which is that from which you activated Total logins from multiple accounts. If you click on a link to a shared document in a mail from one of your other accounts, you will therefore probably be told that you do not have permission to access this file.
Google Docs can be successfully applied to many accounts, if it takes from accounts affiliated with Google Apps for Business. It may also be an option to switch to Google Apps, which is free if you do not need more than 50 accounts.

A good way to stay updated on the latest enhancements is to keep an eye on the Google Docs blog, which is written by the team behind the service. In addition, do not be afraid of clicking around in Google Docs and experiment your way to how the various functions operate. Also consider setting aside time to explore Google Docs forum where users are good to draw attention to interesting applications, they have encountered.dialog.

Google Docs - Your Documents in The Cloud
Google Docs is an online Google application which is pretty much the same as Microsoft Office, but there is a difference. Instead of having Google Docs installed on your computer you just have to log on your Google acoount and open Docs.
In Google Docs you can make different documents, presentations, spreadsheets and much more, one of the greatest things about Docs is that you don't have to press any safe button, and if you are gonna share it with a friend you don't have to place it on a USB key or E-mail it to him/she you only have to write your friends E-mail address, and then he can start looking and if you have given him the ability to edit the document you can watch him edit the document, writing comment, and at the same time you can edit. How can all this happen?? thats because Docs is in Google The Cloud, for each symbol you place in your document it will safe it, that is also why you can write the half on the document at home and finish it on your workk without sending it as an E-mail to your self or on a USB key, its just logging on your Google Account.
And now you think what if i'm not online on my computer and i wanna make a document well before you gets offline you can open a new document that you are gonna write and when you'll get offline you can just continue and when you get online again the document will get safed. And if you need to you can download the document as a WORD document.
