Cloud Computing

While I've been aware of GoogleDocs, I realize that I've missed the opportunity to use them more. For instance, my department went back-and-forth and back-and-forth about an APC proposal earlier this year. It would have been sooo much easier with GoogleDocs. And I often share documents with research students and work-study students using a shared folder on the I-drive. But that seems so much more cumbersome to go through multiple layers of the network to get to the folder -- not to mention the added headache of signing onto the network if I'm off-campus. However, as I set up a trial shared document to for my 13 Things exercise, I did not want to annoy people with getting an invite from me, yet I could not figure out how to add their names to the share list with out an invitation being issue.
