http://WordPress.com Unveils Google Docs Extension for Collaboration http://flip.it/SNPVUw via @flipboard

The extension being profiled is available here. Without reading any instructions, I installed it and proceeded to do this quick test.

A	B	A+B
0	0	0
0	1	1
1	0	1
1	1	1

I’m going to go ahead and post this directly from Google Docs and then provide some feedback below. Let’s see how it does!

Conclusion? This extension is not ready for prime time, unfortunately. For plain text documents, it’s fine, but for anything more complex than that then you might as well just compose your posts in WordPress directly.

Too bad…
