Will Online Tools Change the World?

This Google Doc isn't interactive when I send it to my blog, I notice.

The table I made below asks you to add your favorite cookie to the list, but you have to be in Google Docs to type the data. Since I like playing around with fonts, I am using Comic Sans MS font. The header was 24 pt white text color and green text background. These settings are at about the midpoint of the toolbar above. Below is a separator from the Insert menu.


By inserting a table, I can ask for your input (after I have invited you to collaborate).

1. I can ask for input 5. 9.
2. What is your favorite cookie? 6. 10.
3. Mine: Apricot Walnut Bars 7. 11.
4. 8. 12.

But of course online productivity is about Productivity, not just appearance. In order to produce, I need the input of others, so I will send my document off and see where it lands. If I am successful in inviting others, maybe this table will fill up. If the table isn't the right shape, someone else should be able to resize it too.
