Now Facebook users can use Docs.com to edit and share Microsoft Office documents. Microsoft and Facebook have joined hands in providing an online document-sharing service that is advantageous than Google Docs.
Docs.com was launched on Facebook's F8 conference. Facebook user can sign in to this Docs.com using the Facebook Connect and can use document editor and viewer to create, edit, and share Microsoft Office files with their Facebook buddies. User's news feed indicates new documents just like status updates or images.
Service was live in the minutes after its launch at the conference and is undergoing beta testing. In future, Microsoft will be launching its own online document-sharing service, but Docs.com gives a test environment to test its technology within Facebook's platform.
Google with its Google Apps is influencing the big and small businesses in an attempt to make them move to its version of cloud-computing services. Docs.com not being business-friendly as it imposes restrictions as only Facebook buddies or the document will be shared with all of Facebook, but it is useful for smaller teams.
Docs.com was designed by Microsoft's FUSE Lab that was set up on 2009 to support social-networking technology. Note that Microsoft invested $240 million on Facebook in 2007.With Docs; you can use web application to create the document or upload them from your drives. You can share documents privately or to a group of your Facebook friends. You can add additional editors at any instant to a document with just a button click on it side.
But, in the tests, the editor wasn't working properly but the viewer works fine. We can take a look at Docs editing features when it is fully implemented and is running.
