What is Google Docs?

"Google Docs is a Web-based document management application for creating and editing private and public, word processing documents. These documents can be stored both online on the Google cloud and/or on the user’s computer. Access to these files is available from any computer with an Internet connection and a fully-featured Web browser. The documents may be viewed by other google groups and members with the document owner’s permission."
