• Collaborate With Other Bloggers- If more than one person works on your blog.  Docs and spreadsheet can be a great central place to post ideas, comments, and concerns.  Everyone can go on to view and edit the documents
• Keep track of affiliate links -Many long time bloggers have a problem that they are signed up for dozens of different affiliate programs.  Throw in the fact that many of these programs are two tiered, and many have several different URLs to send traffic to under different circumstances, it can quickly become overwhelming trying to keep track of them all.  Using an online Google Spreadsheet can help you keep all your affiliate links in one place, saving you time
• Accept Submissions - Google documents has a handy feature that it can take an e-mail and turn it into a word document automatically.  So say that you are a site which posts reader submissions.  Instead of having to monitor your e-mail, simply set up an e-mail address, forward that to Docs and Spreadsheets and monitor that.   When you want to post the submission it is easy to edit and all the submissions are in one place.
