Google brings some holiday spirit to Google Docs
Dec 4th
Greetings readers!
While I know that there aren’t very many Google Docs users out there (I do use it and like it for simple tasks), there is now even more reason to live Google Docs. Google has released some holiday themed templates to bring you and those around you some holiday cheer. With holiday postcards, mailing lables and gift tags, the new templates is a great excuse for anybody to use Google Docs! What better way is there to tell your family and friends just how much you love cloud computing than to use it to send them some holiday greeting cards?
Here are some small (almost too small) pictures to show you just a taste of what holiday goodness that Google Docs has to offer:
Make sure you check these out in the holiday templates section of Google Docs.
Do you use Google Docs? If so, what do you think of it? If not, does something like this make you more interested in trying it out?
