Ron Schneider announced a new look for Google Docs and Spreadsheets today.
This
is a good example of changing the feel for an app that you use daily,
and adding some nice Ajax effects and features, such as the good 'ole
left side folder list. I wonder if anyone will be confused that these
folders map to tags, and there is a difference (think 'delete').
What's new
- Looking pretty - The entire document list has
been given a complete visual overhaul - new icons, more content, and
better organizational controls. We know users spend a lot of time here
and we aim to make it feel more like home. - Getting organized
- Almost from the day we launched people have been clamoring for
folders. They're here! Even cooler, our new folders continue to work
like the tags they've replaced - your old tags are automatically
converted to folders and documents can live in more than one folder at
a time. Organizing your documents is as easy as dragging and dropping a
document to a folder. We've also included special controls for seeing
only those documents created by you or shared with a particular person. - Search that thinks ahead - If you've ever tried Google Suggest,
you know how cool it is when a search engine offer suggestions as you
type. Google Docs & Spreadsheets now works the same way - we offer
dynamically filtered results from your document list as you type,
saving you time and getting you to your documents more quickly.
