In Praise of Google Docs

While the work on the wedding website continues this week (I hope y'all are impressed with it--I spent an hour and a 1/2 yesterday on the Accommodation page for Fowey alone), this week it is all about the praise for Google Docs, in (short) list form.

Reasons Why A&E love Google Docs (thus far):

1. Our time, effort, and new skills in Excel have not gone to waste in the guest list/contact list compiling exercises.
2. We can share the UK Guest List, CA Guest List and HUGE Contact List with anyone really, primarily our folks (and we don't have to print them out! Yay trees!).
3. Anyone we share the 'documents' (files) with doesn't have to have a Google account.
4. Multiple people can be viewing, editing and saving those documents at any given time and those changes happen instantly.
5. Alex and I can sit at our own computers in separate rooms and chat and giggle online like old times across the ocean while we edit the lists together.
   

Betcha can't tell which one is my favorite reason...

Two more notes:

• Yes, I did totally co-opt the title of Cheryl Dumesnil's new book of poetry, In Praise of Falling--how did you know!? And yes, you should check it out.
  
• And blog posts are more fun with pictures, so here's an old school one of Alex at her desk at the Ocean House. :D
