Googlified

With the acquisition of the Tonic Systems, Google today revealed the secret that the long-waited presentation feature will be integrated into Google’s online office suite Docs & Spreadsheets soon.

Tonic Systems is a San Francisco-based company that provides Java presentation automation products and solutions for document management - Tonic Systems Builder, Tonic Systems Filter, Tonic Systems Transformer, Tonic Systems Viewer, and JarJar Links. Features of their products included text extraction for indexing documents, presentation creation capabilities and document conversion tools.

I guess Google will rename Docs & Spreadsheets to something else because I am sure that a lot of people wouldn’t be happy with the name Docs, Spreadsheets & Presentations. And what? Java? Not very nice, but we will see.

Really looking forward to the new product though. :)

UPDATE: There’s a demo of the product on Tonic Systems’ site. You can sign up for a private beta invitation here, but I am not sure if they will invite you…
