Open Spreadsheets from Gmail

I just noticed a cool new feature for anyone using Google’s Gmail service. Recently Google launced Google Docs & Spreadsheets, which is essentially an online version of Microsoft’s Office program. Well they have a great way of integrating these new features for Gmail users. When people send you spreadsheets now, you can open your docs directly into your browser, and save them for later in your online folder. This is one of the greatest time saving items I’ve seen in a while, everyone has a ton of documents in emails that they use as their “storage”, but Google takes it one step further so that we can more efficiently keep track of all the documents that we get bombarded with everyday.
