Google Docs and Spreadsheet Opens Up

Google Docs and
Spreadsheet has new collaborative option which enables you invite others to view or edit your files. You can also allow collaborators to invite others or let the invites to be used up by anyone, which comes in handy if you want to share the information across a large mailing list. You can invite people either as viewers or collaborators.

Previously, viewers needed a Google account before they could view your information, but now they’ve remove this requirement, so that Google Docs and Spreadsheet users can share their information with other non-Google users. This is not the same, if you’ve invited them as collaborators. Collaborators can view your doc or spreadsheet, but they’ll still need Google Account, if they want to edit it.
