Discover, create, and share Microsoft Office documents with Facebook friends


Get Everyone Singing From The Same Hymn Sheet

by SoftwareGuru


The incredible success of Facebook and social media is well-documented.

But did you know that you can create and share Office documents with your friends through Facebook?

Let's say you play football in a 5-a-side league.

Why bother emailing people when you can list all the times and information in a Word Doc and share it online?

Some of your friends probably check Facebook on their mobile phone before they even get out of bed in the morning!

The document sharing facility within Facebook must be one of the most underexposed benefits it has to offer.

OfficeLive.com is great for work but when it comes to your personal life, that's where social media and sharing comes in.














Social Sharing

Sharing online is now something we take for granted.

We share photos with the world on sites like Flickr or through Twitter services such as Twitpic and Ow.ly which are both extremely popular.

You could be on holiday on the other side of the world and your friends can see a photo you created only a minute ago.

Facebook document sharing is a handy way to organise groups of people meeting up at different times on different days.

Sports teams will find document sharing on Facebook incredibly useful and mobile phones mean that information is only ever a few clicks away.

As social media use increases, email use for social activities is likely to decline.

Even if you get free text messages on your phone, organising teams and events with groups of people could quickly eat through your monthly allowance.

Facebook is a free alternative that almost everyone uses and the ability to create and share Microsoft Office documents can help you stay organised.
One Document To Rule Them All

Online collaboration is now being encouraged in schools and colleges.

The ability to work as part of a team and creatively solve problems illustrates two key skills that offer great value to potential employers.

Creative problem solving is what drives success and students that graduate during this harsher economic climate will have to figure out how to achieve more with fewer resources.

As students we want to get more for less.

In the workplace, your boss at some point may expect you to achieve more with fewer resources.

Organising your team or group activities through Facebook document sharing is just one example of making the most of the tools at your disposal.

Any graduate who can point to a list of ways they can do more with less will definitely make themselves more employable.

If you happen to see your future in the IT industry, perhaps you might be interested in the Microsoft Exam vouchers we provide at Software4Students.

Getting a Microsoft Certification will help improve your CV by differentiating you from others competing for the same jobs.

At the very least, it'll help you get started on the path to a better job and an industry recognised IT qualification.
 

Facebook sharing starts at Docs.com and you should also take a look at our Microsoft Certified Exam options.
