Is this just a hype title, or did they do something different to what people are doing all the time using wikis?

Many people can edit at the same time in Docs, which is one difference vs a wiki.

"Many people can edit at the same time in Docs ..."

... and see each others' edits in real time. It's very cool.

Ok, but that has nothing to do with Google+ does it, or is it somehow a Google+ feature?

It seems like 9 women can now make a baby in a month.

Followed by 9 paternity suits against the same guy.

OMG! OMG! I'm being downvoted by both females and their pussyboys, you know, the males who will valiantly protect any female, in any situation, against any male, just because of that slit between their legs, even if the protectors have no chance of getting some. Those two groups easily cover more than 99.9% of the human population.

It's somewhat ironic that I'm being downvoted on a simple response to a comment on an article about GooglePlus, the same service which was reported, on the same day, to have banned certain people for saying certain things. I better stop, before I get banned from here, or rendered invisible, because I don't want to have to join the ranks of Anonymous ... just yet.

What the heck are you ranting about? You got downvoted for making a joke that wasn't very contributive.

I also considered that possibility, but since I don't know the real reason why, and you don't either, I figured I'd go with the more sensational response, especially since the comment to which I responded was also not "very contributive", yet did not get downvoted.

He was referring to Brooks' law, so he was making a comment about the project. Your post was completely offtopic.

And by the way, your post being downvoted wasn't ironic at all.

Neither does using a wiki have anything to do with G+. Your original question was about the editing method, not G+ (I think), the person responding to your original question responded to that, and I expanded on that answer.

I suppose the posted article was also really about Google Docs, and only related to G+ because they were using Docs to create information about G+.

You're barely even offensive, you're just a waste of space. You have an inflated sense of how strongly people feel about your comments. I'm only voting you down because you're noise in my conversation.

Fair enough. The title made it sound as though Google+ was providing something to the collaboration.
