Google Docs service manager of Google Gmail e-mails will allow to share and view files in the cloud of this company. Gmail has taken a further step towards integration with Office Suite software company Microsoft.
As a new feature, Gmail users can view attachments and formatted text Docsx and Doc directly from the web browser, without Microsoft Word.

What’s more, Gmail users can also edit their documents online with Google Docs, print or download to their computer’s hard disk. Until now, it was only possible to view PDF files (Adobe System company), PPT (Microsoft PowerPoint) and Tiff (Tagged Image File).

This service was designed to compete with others such as Hotmail (it has just added some changes and improvements) and Yahoo! Mail.

The benefits to Gmail users is notable, especially because you can edit files created with the Word application without the necessity to have Microsoft Office suite installed on your PC.

Anyway, the current dispute between Office and Google Docs is known by everyone. While Office has just released the 2000 version and it has more and more users, Google Docs is stronger because it is a free service, this characteristic gives opportunity to compete.

A few days ago people began to talk about the news that the social network Twitter was interested in sharing users with Facebook. But there aren’t many news about that. Twitter’s idea is that its users can import their Facebook contacts list for Twitter. This will be done through a service that will allow to know which of Facebook contacts have a Twitter account.

It is now possible to publish Twitts on the wall of Facebook users. The two most successful social networks of the Internet have tried the system but there were some problems, then the system didn’t work properly. While Twitter said Facebook didn’t accept orders placed by the application to extract information about its users, the social network of Mark Zuckerberg said the same about Twitter.

After that, the two companies reported that they were working to repair the actual problems in the system. And they were trying to operate the service to import the  contact list of a social network to another. We have to wait to know if this application will be available on Facebook and Twitter and whether it will work properly.

Until now that a platform like Skype wouldn’t open to the world to be incorporated in chat unified clients like Digsby or Audium to improve his use was surprising. Because the majority of the users have different active services with different contacts, so unifying them under one service would make easier their use.

Skype launches Skype Kit SDK to open this platform to developers and we hope to see the famous application integrated in clients soon, so we will be able to manage the contacts of the program with other programs such as ICQ, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, etc…

For the moment Skype Kit SDK is only available in beta. Then we can only access by an invitation. At first it will be launched for linus’ devices and we will have to wait  some weeks for use it in Windows and Mac. Skype Skype Kit SDK will be incorporated in desktop applications and electronic devices.

Google Voice is here. In April we knew the news of Google’s intention to create a service to compete with Skype. Months later we can talk about it. You have to remember that this service isn’t the recent improvements of Gmail chat with audio and video calls.

Before the service was available for companies and some users and you could only access by an invitation. However, now it’s available to everybody. But only in the United States.

Google Voice calls can be made to every phone (home, office and mobile) into a single number and it can manage calls from the Internet. It’s also the instant voice messages. By subscribing the user can make free calls to numbers in the United States and Canada. And it has a very competitive costs for international calls.

Google Voice regained the technology developed by GrandCentral to create his service, although it still has to improve some things like the integration of social networks like Facebook or Twitter, which are almost indispensable to be connected with the world today. After a lot of tests Google Voice already is open to the public. Blackberry phones and interactive phones using the Android operating system may use it. But this service is not available for iPhone.
At the moment this service can’t make calls from computer to computer, so Skype still takes advantage. But the solution could be close with the recent purchase of Gizmo5. What’s the disadvantage? This is that the service doesn’t work at the moment in Europe.

Here we can see a graphic demonstration of Google Voice.

Despite these improvements, there are some problems that have not yet been able to solve:

- Calls on 3G still can not be done, but Apple has reported that the current restrictions have removed the service offered to all users.

- Push notifications: still working on it but plan to release a version for the iPhone with Push notifications once the option has been improved.

Among these improvements is a process of loggin faster and safer, depending also on the quality of the connection, but overall is a security improvement. You may also receive push notifications to stay connected for an hour, they can chat with contacts in the social network MySpace, which now also has support, and create chat groups directly from the main panel.

For now this is all that is not enough, though the developers warn that the next update will also come loaded with new features, while today we can already download for free from the App Store.
