Dunno what anyone else thinks...... Its just that describing google-docs as software jarred with me. I guess I see google-docs as a "website" or a "service", not "software", as such.

Why?

Not actually sure. I think I see software as something I buy and install on a local machine. But my, possibly incorrect, gut reaction is that services on websites are not "software".

I'd like to think of it as "Tools we love to use"; or "Tools I like so much, that I want to tell others about it".

Clearly Google docs solves the problem of versioning and sharing quite well and that probably resonates with a lot of folks in stark contrast to how they have to share a excel or word document and struggled to keep the versions updated.
