It’s time to learn another Google Trick or two.\u00a0 Have you wondered how we have been sharing spreadsheets over the internet without emailing?\u00a0 Here is a quick look at iGoogle and Google Docs and Spreadsheets.<\/p>\n

\n

The igoogle Homepage<\/strong><\/p>\n

The igoogle<\/strong> page is another freebie. Since most of the websites today have information that is alive and morphing (such as the EWM.com website with its blog component), there is an ever-increasing need to pool \"\"that information into one arena — like the front page of the newspaper.\u00a0 By now you heard the term “RSS feed”<\/a> (Real Simple Syndication) – that funny orange “feed” button on different sites actually means something.<\/p>\n

Have you opened a Google account?\u00a0\u00a0Contrary to what was stated in the previous video, I opened an account with my current\u00a0e-mail address.\u00a0 If you do open a Google e-mail account (g-mail),\u00a0it can appear as one of your gadgets on your\u00a0igoogle homepage.\u00a0 Have you set up your igoogle page?<\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Here is how you add EWM’s public blog feed to your igoogle homepage. Now you will know when your post has been published.<\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Challenge:\u00a0 Set it up.\u00a0 Add stuff.\u00a0 Daily peruse\u00a0your headlines.\u00a0 Stay informed.<\/p>\n

Google Docs and Spreadsheet<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Since you have already set up your google account, upload documents into you google docs account.<\/p>\n

Google Docs:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Share the documents with others, either as collaborators or viewers. Collaborators may make additions or deletions to your document.\u00a0 Viewers may only view your document.<\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Perhaps you are wondering, how do I know the history of these documents if I allow others to “collaborate?”<\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Google Spreadsheets:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is fascinating.\u00a0 This is not your\u00a0mama’s spreadsheet.<\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

As you have imported documents and spreadsheets, you may now want to export them:<\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

In a future post, we will embed your “google” spreadsheet into your blog post.<\/p>\n

I am extremely impressed with the Google philosophy — the “Ten Things”<\/a> what this company believes might well be adopted by many.<\/p>\n
