notes and views on crm, social media, and the human side of information technology

Presently unimpressed

HERE’S A SCOOP on Google’s upcoming addition to their Apps portfolio:

I’m sure many people wondered if Google will release a presentation tool, after building Google Docs&Spreadsheets. Well, the answer is yes, and the code-name of the tool is Presently (a play on Writely, the name of the online word processor bought by Google).

I am not surprised - Google has the ball rolling pretty well - and at the same time, I feel conflicted as to what to think. Technological marvel? It may as well be. But is it a step in the right direction? Office apps have matured to such a degree than any effort to start over would be gargantuous. Aren’t there other goals worth pursuing than re-doing what already works? I would hope so!
