Googledocs – what a great idea and they’re free! They allow documents to be used by groups of people even if they aren’t on the same network.

We use them internally so that we can all look at or amend the same document – at the same time in some cases – replacing job books, card indices, address books etc. It’s up to you to choose who you want to allow to view and/or amend the document as you have to invite participants individually.

We’ve used Googledocs to list the latest updates to archive footage for our client the Maritime Coastguard Agency. Another client, based in Brussels, monitors their web statistics from the information we upload to Googledocs.
