Google announced back in April that it would be adding presentations to its Google Docs&Spreadsheets tool. Now the service is available, and Google has, thankfully, decided not to call it “GoogleDocs&Spreadsheets&Presentations” but has shortened the name of the suite of applications to “Google Docs.” To see what it looks like, go to your Google Docs page (or open an account), click on “new” over at the left, then click on Presentations.

I am told by my testing team, a couple of teenage girls, that Presentations does not (yet?) offer anything like the features provided by Microsoft Powerpoint. However, the main advantage of Presentations is that it is online, allowing one to collaborate easily when developing a presentation. (This is also a feature of Docs and Spreadsheets, of course.)

To learn more, you can visit YouTube to see and hear a video called Google Docs in plain English.
