Benefits of Google Desktop

So many people are concerned about privacy issues with latest Google Desktop. If you enable "Search Across Computers" feature during the download, Google Desktop will save your word documents and excel spreadsheets on Google's servers. It may sound scary, but if trust Google with your information, you can have so much done from any machine.

Other day, I thought about making changes to my resume while at work. I put those thoughts in a word document on my work laptop and enabled "Search Across Computers" feature on it. My resume is sitting on my home desktop. To make the changes I simply logged into Google Desktop from home. Bingo! Now my latest resume reflects those thoughts.
