New Feature: Ubertor Integrates with Google Docs

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Do you use Google Docs within your real estate business?

We do within ours and suggest you should to. Google Docs lets you “create and edit web-based documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Store documents online and access them from any computer.” It is great for teams and great for keeping your documents on the internet and NOT on your computer.

Now, within your Ubertor website you can integrate Google Docs right into your website and domain name. You can see this new feature within the “setup” tab under “domains”. If you are using Gmail and/or Google Docs it is worth a look. If you are not, then it is worth looking at both of these services for your business. Here is the screenshot of what it looks like in your control panel:
