Google Docs now allows folder sharing, batch uploading

by Jay Hathaway (RSS feed) Oct 13th 2009 at 10:00AM

Google Docs has always been a decent solution for collaborating on individual documents, but users have been frustrated for some time by the lack of support for sharing multiple files at once. Google recently heard their demands - delivered via the Google Docs product ideas page - and added folder sharing. Now you can not only set the same sharing permissions for a whole folder full of docs at once, but also upload multiple files simulataneously.

To organize you docs quickly, there's a new "folders" dialogue at the top of your docs screen. You can check items and then click on "folders" to set which folder they're in, even as a batch. Google also brought back an old favorite feature: "Items Not In Folders," because feedback told them that a lot of people used it for drafts or to queue items to work on.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
