Here’s the 3rd installment of my favourite video series (i.e “Did You Know”) illustrating the changing media landscape. No explanation necessary, just watch the video and enjoy.
The original Did You Know 3.0 video can be watched here.
I’m always blown away whenever I step outside of the social media fishbowl/community and step into reality.
Which reality am I referring to?
The one where the vast majority of intelligent people in the workforce have never used, let alone heard of free tools such as Google Docs (assuming it’s not blocked).
What is it?
Google Docs is the ultimate tool for when you need wiki functionality, but don’t necessarily want to open it up to the public and/or you just have a short term initiative in mind.
What makes it great?
People are already used to using it (most don’t know they are)
How is that possible?
It uses the same menus, icons and basic features as Microsoft Office products (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)
What’s the difference?
Any amount of people can work on the exact same document collaboratively in real-time. No more emails and/or documents with tracked changes!
Show me how!
Watch this video to get an idea of what I’m talking about…
So please , do yourself a favour (if you’re not already all over this) and start saving yourself and your organization some valuable time today!
I’m always hungry for new videos that illustrate where this new world of digital content creation and collaboration is taking us. Here is one from Semantics Incorporated that explains web 3.0/the semantic web from a service angle.
I also really like the “Did You Know 3.0” and “The Machine is Using Us” videos. Know any other good ones?
