Online applications have so many potential benefits. What a great way to facilitate sharing of documents, ideas and presentations within the broader profession, and help save us all re-inventing the wheel all the time. We all have more work to do than we have hours in the day so anything that makes life a little easier is great. Besides, the greatest advances in our profession can be made through collaboration, where different ideas and perspectives can come together.
Also, we have networks set up for our documents within our councils but not the same access outside. I work part-time and sometimes need to access documents from home. Whilst I can copy the file(s) onto a memory stick or email them to myself, I still have to very careful to ensure I take an updated copy and save it at work. This way I wouldn't have the same worries about different versions of the documents. How wonderful to also not have to worry about different programs, or versions of the software and backwards compatibility. If we go to a conference or on holidays and only have internet access but not software we can still create professional documents where we can share experiences and thoughts with others.
