Google maps

I love Google maps! I discovered pubs that I did not know existed in Brunswick, and I worked out I could do a pub crawl to all of them that would take about 1.5km, walking from my flat in Brunswick. I inadvertently found those in Germany too, I was too quick hitting the search button. I will be attending a health librarians meeting in Alice Springs in September, and I found out the quickest route to get from the hotel where I will be staying to the venue. The Internet went down this afternoon while I was working, so could not do something really neat and upload the relevant map with the route marked. Will try again later, hope I can get the technology to work.

I can see the applications of Google docs, easily facilitating collaboration between teams and the ability to access documents anywhere in the world - for example the benefits of placing scanned copies of important documents on my site while I am travelling abroad.
