My Thoughts about Workflow in Google Docs

I recently wrote about my initial thoughts on Google Cloud Connect and that with some volunteer work I am doing got me thinking further about workflow in Google Docs. Despite how much my technical writing work includes a process/workflow element and my writing on the subject in the past, I still see instances of where organizations stumble on what are seemingly simple document workflow tasks.

The workflow in Google Docs appeals to me on certain levels but leaves me thinking the seamless transition that the glossy marketing slicks could quickly lose its sheen on a live deployment without the proper end user training and support.

Migrating willkelly.com to Google Apps (Finally!)

Migrating willkelly.com to Google Apps has been one of those personal web projects that has been hanging out on my task list for sometime now. Last weekend, I finally made the move to Google Apps for my email. I was no longer happy with my ISP’s email especially after getting my iPhone 3Gs.
