Google Docs

Yeah, it's a strange thing to write a post about. But Google Docs is what I do a lot of my schoolwork on, and it's pretty cool, so why not?

One of the interesting things about Google Docs is that when there's a public document, there's a list of everyone who's viewing it. But it doesn't actually say who they are it just says :


     Anonymous User 3


     Anonymous User 30


     Anonymous User 4


It just shows everyone viewing the document as anonymous users. Sometimes when I'm looking at a science homework document I wonder who those other people are. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to start typing and have a conversation over the computer with a random person from my grade. 


I wonder if any of those other people represented by those little colored squares think about these same things. I doubt it. But who knows? Nothing is certain. Maybe one of the eight people who's looking at the science homework now is looking at the square that represents me and wondering who I am.


WAIT! Make that nine! Someone just opened the document. I have the Google Docs window open in the background right now. OOH! I know what I'm going to do! I'm going to link to this post so those nine people see it. I wonder if anyone will click on it. 


So if you got here from the Google Doc, please comment on this. I want to see if my little experiment works!
