Google Docs Adds Drawing
Ian's Messy Desk: "Google has added the ability to insert drawings into Google Docs. You can create and insert drawings into documents, presentations and spreadsheets to illustrate your ideas or just for fun."

This doesn't look all that professional, but I'm sure you can make it if you want. This will be super useful if you have a make a long presentation. Its a really cool idea.
Google is slowly trying to take over every aspect of computer interaction and I love them for it. As long as they continue to "not be evil", the better for them.
The current aesthetic seems to be in line with Google's more child-like appearance; I hope they will offer something slightly more polished a la blogger.
I think that despite the look of the presentation, this is a step in a good direction. However, if google were were to add functionality to make the output look more professional, this could be a really useful tool.
I think in theory that this is a winning idea --- I'm not sure how I feel about the actual product or the program. I think Google is over-expanding, and I think that this could jeopardze its strong standing
Sure this is useful, but it doesn't seem like it really works well. I dk, I'm so NOT a fan of using google for anything other than Gmail. At that, I'm not a fan of online applications. Online apps are inherently not customizable enough and are dependent on internet access. I'm a much bigger fan of networked database style programs which have the ability to work offline. Google ought to stick with what it does best -- its search engine and similar assorted endeavors. The new web browser is a good idea -- can't say I'm wild about the phone though...
Like people have said, the simplicity is kind of nice, but its not something that I would really want to use. Yeah, its helpful and you can store everything online which is also helpful, but Google is just trying to dominate so many forms of different tools, but they don't get super detailed. You would like to think that if they spend the amount of money and time to create the actual software, they would also spend a bit of time to make it user friendly. At least pretty.
