Facebook and Microsoft have teamed up on an online document-sharing service called Docs.com, which is similiar to Google Docs.
Docs.com went live on Wednesday at Facebook's F8 conference. The site allows Facebook users to log in using Facebook Connect and create, edit and share Microsoft Office documents with their Facebook friends. New documents will show up in a user's news feed, just like status updates or pictures.
It is in beta testing for now, and service was spotty in the minutes following its introduction at the conference. Microsoft is planning to launch its own online document-sharing service later this year, but Docs.com gives it a good way to test its technology within Facebook's walls.
Docs.com lets Facebook users edit and share Microsoft Office documents.
