    Google docs has 4 new features:
    1. Add your active docs & spreadsheets list to your Google Personalized Homepage
    2. Browse (and revert to) past versions of your spreadsheet
    3. Publish spreadsheets as web pages
    4. Spreadsheets gets 2 special functions
    - GoogleFinance function retrieves current price and volume for stock.
    - GoogleLookup function accesses the Google Q&A database (very cool!!!)

    I've already added the docs to my personalized homepage. OH THE POWER!!!

    They did not add the feature i suggested, which i deem the most important.

    Folder/multiple file upload.

    Do they really think i am going to spend i don't know how many hours uploading my word/excel documents 1 by 1.

    Until they add a bulk upload feature, I do not see Google Docs worthwhile.

    I kind of doubt it

    I don't think they'll bother with a powerpoint alternative
