I used to share documents with my colleges and friends, using emails to send the files. This is inefficient because you can easily create a parallel version or lost track of the file. For this issue there is a solution: Google Docs. A versatile option to share documents for free, allowing you to edit them online.
Google Docs now has a competitor, Microsoft Office Live Workspace. Like SharePoint, you can share documents and manage versions. I made this chart to compare some of the features I already tested in both. I will continue comparing them.
| Features | Google Docs | MS Office Live Workspace |
| Allow edit documents without installed software | Yes | No |
| Integration with MSOffice | No | Yes, installing a plug-in |
| Versioning | Yes | Yes |
| Collaborative work | Yes | Yes |
| Available mobile (Symbian) | Yes, read only | No (web browser no compatible) |
| Web Browsers | IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari (mobile) | IE, Firefox |
