      <![CDATA[<p>In <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/web2explorer/?page_id=268"> a ZDNet Image
Gallery</a>, I've gone through 7 products that may become part of a future Google
Web Office. Right now, Google doesn't have a full web-based office suite on the
market - but this year they've gradually been compiling Web Office parts. For
example if you click on &quot;all my services&quot; in the top left corner of
your Gmail, you'll go to your <a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount">Google
account</a> and see a list of products that Google offers. Many of them are Web
Office parts, or could easily become a part of a Web Office. Here is the current
list:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Analytics&nbsp;</li>
  <li><b>Base&nbsp;</b></li>
  <li><b>Calendar&nbsp;</b></li>
  <li>Co-op&nbsp;</li>
  <li><b>Gmail&nbsp;(including GTalk)</b></li>
  <li><b>Page Creator&nbsp;</b></li>
  <li><b>Personalized Homepage&nbsp;</b></li>
  <li>Personalized Search&nbsp;</li>
  <li><b>Spreadsheets</b></li>
</ul>
<p><img border="0" src="http://static.flickr.com/93/236591134_18de7ab69e.jpg?v=0" alt="google spreadsheet"><br /><em>Google Spreadsheet</em></p>
<p>So there are 9 current Google services listed - the 6 I've highlighted are
Office candidates. You can add word processing app <a href="http://www.writely.com/"><b>Writely</b></a>
to that, which makes 7 possible Web Office suite parts. Some of the pre-beta
products from the <a href="http://labs.google.com/">Google Labs</a> page are
possible additions in the future, as well as Labs &quot;graduates&quot; like <a href="http://desktop.google.com/">Google
Desktop</a>. But let's not worry too much about what's missing
(presentations and project management aren't even Google products yet).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Indeed there's a lot of work to be done to <i>integrate</i> the 7 office-like
products listed above. While recently Google released the oddly named <a href="https://www.google.com/a/">Google
Apps for Your Domain</a> - which bundles together Gmail, Google Talk, Calendar
and Page Creator - it's just the start of what could be done to integrate
products into an office suite.</p>
<p>Even so it's worth looking at the current product mix, for clues to a future
Google Office. In the <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/web2explorer/?page_id=268"> Image Gallery</a> I've compiled, I've focused on
the 7 office-like products listed above. I've highlighted a few promising Web Office features from most of the products, even if there's work to be done by
Google yet.</p>
