Google combine online Docs and Spreadsheets

Not content with their attempted domination of online video with their recent acquisition of YouTube, Google have today announced that they are effectively going after Microsoft Office by offering an integrated, online word processing and spreadsheets application - Google Docs & Spreadsheets.

Google spreadsheets has been around for a few months and Google purchased Writely, an online word processing app, back in March. Now they have combined the two to provide an integrated online file creation solution.

I've been using their spreadsheet app for a while and it's great. I'm now looking forward to getting to grips with the docs app.

Maybe I won't need to buy the new version of Microsoft Office next year afterall? That's what Microsoft must now be afraid of.
