Google Docs Vs Live Office

Tug-of-war!

Google Docs Vs Microsoft Office Live Workspace

Take a look at the below screenshots,

Google Docs

google-docs

Microsoft Office Live Workspace

windows-live-office

Both are alike!

Some cool features that is missing in Google Docs,

  1. You can install add-in for Office XP, 2003 and 2007 – through which you can access online documents with Microsoft Office.
  2. You can upload almost all type of files (including images, documents, excel-sheets and many)

One big feature is currently not available in Live - you can only view the uploaded files but you can’t edit them. If you want to edit, you need to use the appropriate software. Hope they will include this feature very soon.

But I have a strong opinion that Live will not allow users to edit the uploaded document as it will affect their software business ;)

Google or Microsoft? The tug-of-war continues...

Google Analytics Vs Piwik

Most of them know about Google analytics. For those who don’t know “Google analytics is a free website tracker from Google”. Using Google analytics you can track your visitors and other related details.

Piwik is something similar to Google analytics but it is open source.

Piwik aims to be an open source alternative to Google Analytics. – From Piwik.org website.

Is it possible for Piwik to overtake Google Analytics? What is your thought? I don’t think it can! Because I have the following reasons,

1. Installing Piwik is not as easy as Google analytics and requires programming knowledge

2. Statistics is stored in our server which will consume bandwidth and space

Google Analytics or Piwik? What you recommend? Add your comments!

Google Chatback - Chat With Me Now!

I have added the Google's chatback badge to my blog. You can chat with me whenever my status is "Available".

How it works?

Someone clicks the chatback badge.

 

chat-logo

 

You will get a alert in your Gtalk, after you accept the chat, you will get the following alert in your browser,

 

launch-chat

 

After you click "Launch Chat", you will get the below window,

 

chat-window-pratheep

 

On the same time, the guest (visitor) will have the below window,

 

chat-window-guest

 

In the above window you can see the last line "Pratheep is typing..."

This is cool! but the chat is not as fast as the regular Gtalk. I believe that Google will enhance this service soon with some cool features.

Still waiting? Create your own chatback badge and Start chatting with your visitors!

No need to fill anything, just sign-in with your google account here, copy the code, past and start using the chat facility.
