HTNet - A Notepad of Tech, Business, Science and Self Improvement

In addition to Docs and Spreadsheets, Google will soon be adding presentations into the bundle.

Soon we can have an entire online office suite courtesy of el-Goog. Will such a suite be a Microsoft Office killer and put an end to its monopoly? Personally, I doubt it. Microsoft took many years to establish Office as the de-facto office productivity tool and I don’t see it being overtaken by a flashy AJAX-powered web app anytime soon.

However, I would very much like to be proven wrong… hopefully within the first decade of this century.

I’ve been actively using Google Reader as my sole feed reader consistently for more than a month. Mind you, I have been playing with it since its inception but now I’ve pretty much familiarised myself with the interface.

Overall, I’m pleased with my Google Reader experience, except for one critical aspect which I found extremely strange for a Google product; the complete absence of a search interface.

I mean if there’s one thing that you’d expect from Google, it’ll be robust search capabilities. Check out Google Labs, every single project developed there, bar Google Reader of course, has some form of search function.

After writing this post, it seems that I’m not the only person who wants this feature.

Hopefully searching will be integrated in Google Reader soon
