The service is also available on mobile devices.
Google Docs: Launched as an option to proprietary software products, the product is a huge success. The product is like a spice adder to ongoing rivalry of Google and Microsoft. Microsoft has flagged a huge success with patent of Microsoft Office Suite but with the launch of free Google Docs and that too online, the company has faced a setback. At the hour, when flexibility is key driver, Google Docs seemingly takes away the pie away from MS Office Suite. No doubt MS Office Live Workspace is giving tougher competition online but still Google Docs has taken the appreciation by mass users on certain features and services. Google Docs has eliminated the need of keeping important docs handy in CDs or flash drives as they are now available online.

YouTube Uploader: YouTube is scaling high on popularity charts with people getting crazy to upload videos and photos. The free availability of videos is also adding to its rising popularity.
