Update to the Old

Well, the "goin' Google" thing didn't really work out. I tried it for a while but it just didn't work out. I think Google may have made a big mistake by limiting access to things like Google Wave during their product roll out. I don't know of anyone that was in their "beta" that is even using it anymore. I know the people I had in my group don't even check their mail there anymore and haven't in a while.

Their document capabilities are good but I still needed to convert everything to MS if I wanted anyone else to read it. Also, since most of the things I needed to create were for work, there was no way my security department would let me do anything out in the cloud and allow co-workers to collaborate with me there.

So, I've come to the conclusion that unless you do a lot of work outside of a large company or you are a student their are some serious limitations you can run into in trying to go Google. However, I still like the whole idea behind cloud computing.
