That relies on actually using Google's broken-ass "software", and getting the worthless thing to even work in the first place: http://www.semitwist.com/download/img/shots/GoogleDocs.png Yea, I could go jumping through all their moronic hoops, but what's wrong with *standard* links/URLs? I don't understand why Google insists on waging their war against normal sensible <a> links and everything intelligent, but there's no reason to encourage it. Bottom line, Google has their heads firmly up their asses, and even if they didn't: it makes no sense to force people to use Google's *cough* "software" just to access a basic URL. I don't go forcing people to use FoxIt reader just to **access** PDFs I link to.
