This post explores "the soft power of Google Doc publishing." The title is a play on the term 'the dark web', which refers to the web beyond the reach of search engines and hidden behind barriers or paywalls, Google Docs and similar services (Google isn't alone in this) aren't quite dark, but they are not exactly open either. I make extensive use of them; view here. This post presents a series of 'axioms' about such services. The core is a series of examples (axiom 5, 'A doc is a distinct, shareable object'). I think there are a lot of insights here, and the subject is worth greater exploration. Via dogtrax. Related: Richard Byrne on how to publish Google Slides presentations.
