ThinkFree
Ever had the need to include Office documents with a post? Powerpoint presentations, spreadsheets with graphs and charts? Now you can with this plugin from ThinkFree.
Not tested, but the demo and instructions seem to be easy as pie. Activate the plugin, attach the file to the post, and a “view” icon is automatically added to the post. Clicking the view, a lightbox like box opens up with the document overlaying the page. I did notice that one has to have javascript enabled to view the document. A plugin like this can really expand a businesses use of blogging, as they can share all kinds of documents, either internally or publicly.
Well, you can scratch that last part, I just read the TOU,and it appears the plugin is strictly for personal non-commercial use.
This service, however, is limited to non-commercial usage. Users publishing documents for commercial purposes will be terminated. Your subscription and right to use the service are personal to you as an individual and do not extend to use by or on behalf of any association, organization, corporation or other entity comprised of multiple persons
No mention of a for-pay service, which seems short sighted to me.
