Google Docs intuitive drag and drop

It’s nice to see Google Docs mimicing the behavior of desktop applications. It’s not news: web apps can compete with and possibly out perform desktop apps by doing exactly that, mimicing them.

Lesson to learn: If you’re a web app, be as intuitive as a desktop app, and I’ll be happy.

Here I’m draggin a document into a folder. Just before I discovered this, I thought to myself “wouldn’t it be nice if I could just drag and drop this instead of clicking to select and using the menu?” A typical path to completion on a web site.

Sure enough, to my surprise, Google is one step ahead of me. Well done, Sir’s and Madam’s.
