Perhaps this has already been mentioned, but I noticed today that Google Docs and Spreadsheets has the title 'Google Docs' in the browser title bar (or tab), whereas it used to be 'Google Docs and Spreadsheets'. Perhaps this is the start of the introduction of Google's answer to Powerpoint, which would explain the new title, give that something like 'Google Docs, Spreadsheets and Presentation' would be too long. |
Yea finally the sweet smell of Google's Presentation Application!!! |
the logo is still "google docs and spreadsheets", at least in french.
The title is still "google docs and s.." on the login page. |
The logo does still read "Google Docs & Spreadsheets", however it's alt attribute reads just "Google Docs" |
Summer is out there in most countries. We want Presentations! :P |
I'm thinking/hoping that Google is working on some other feature they want to release at the same time as Presentations (hopefully more interoperability between the different document types like in MS Office),
|
Mm. Or Gears-powered offline capability. Or background synching with Star Office docs. Or a database application. Or or or. |
Maybe Google Documents would be clearer. I don't know if people use "docs" that much in the US.

Ionut,Google calls MS word files documents calling the whole product Documents aswell would be even more confusing. Personally I think they should call the whole product something else like Google Productivity Suite or something similar, calling it Google Docs could be confused with a Google Document. |
I got a link to a product survey:

There's a question: "How did you first hear about Google Docs & Spreadsheets?" and one of the options is Google Pack. |
Well they could call it 'iWork'. Wait, that ones taken. How about 'Office 2007'. Hmm, thats a no go cause its taken too. We shall call it 'Docs'. Simple and just rolls off your tongue. :p |
It might be hard for them to call it "Google Office", considering that for the past few years they've been strenuously denying that they're working on an Office Suite. |
I would have made a bet it will be "Google Documents" after that recent blog post where this name was dropped, but now that it's renamed "Google Docs" I'm not so sure. But does Google Docs sound serious enough for office uses? |
Probably as serious as Google Apps. |
Google Docs sound more like it.
It's easier to say " Google Docs " than " Google Documents ". |
In Dutch, the title of the overview page is Google Documenten. |
