We’re still patiently waiting for our 15-minutes of fame with Google — they promised us some time with their futurists and visionaries to help them define tomorrow with our mad skills and international aplomb. We have signed all the NDAs and patiently wait. Until then, let’s explore some of the new stuff happening on Google Docs and Google Apps via Download Squad, Google Blogoscoped and Google Docs blog.

Earlier this month, Google Docs added a bundle of new features to kick off 2008. Apparently the feedback the team got was good, and they’ve been busy adding even more features that people have been requesting to the mix.
And today, some very in-demand features have gone live on Google Docs. Most of the new goodies are for presentations - much like the last update.
You now have the option of saving your Google presentations as PDF files, as well as being able to do PDF-style printing - allowing you to choose up to 12 slides to appear per page. And, if you like peppering your presentations with visual flair, some basic drawing tools and vector shapes have been added to give them that extra impact.
Unfortunately, the option to save as a PPT file is still not an option, but hopefully we’ll see something of the sort in the near future.
