Google drive was the last Thing.  I sent a document to 3 colleagues who duly altered it and sent it back.  I would like to say that it was easy to follow but to be honest I found it very confusing.

I hadn't really looked into Google Chrome; sorry skipped that lesson, I had continued to use Internet Explorer, so it came as a bit of a surpise to find that I already had access to Google Drive, G-mail etc.

 I think the idea of sharing documents on Google Drive is generally a  good idea which I may well use in the future but like most of the 23 Things I need time to sit down and actually study everything on offer in more detail.

For example I wasn't sure how I claimed my document back.  On my test it was just a matter of inputting some information which I am highly doubtful my colleagues will ever want to contribute to again. However, if the document was more relevant - then how do I say enough is enough - and stop others adding their pennies worth! I am sure the answer is out there somewhere.
