Collaborating with Google

I can see lots of potential benefits to using Google Docs in collaborative projects for class. Using it for our group project this week has been a good way to share notes and thoughts. However, I think that wikis are better, for a number of reasons.

• Sites like PBWiki seem generally more user-friendly than Google Docs
• This is important when trying to sell less technologically advanced group members (or faculty members!) on the value of the tool
• PBWiki has a more polished look to it, I feel

Nevertheless, Google Docs are a great way to get where you're going, if not for use as the finished product.
