Yesterday we were plenty excited about the drawing tools added to Google Docs. Scribbling notes and drawing funny faces on our work documents might have damaged the Obsessable office productivity level a bit, but for the most part, new features are good features. Google seems to agree, 'cause it added a few things we missed along with the drawing functionality.

The most notable is arguably the ability to import XLSX (or Microsoft Excel '07) files. There's some fun stuff, too. For example, Google Tournament lets you embed live-updating NCAA basketball scores in your documents. For forms that you make in your public document, you can now record the e-mail addresses of people who fill them out. Enjoy, big brother.

Oh, and List view is now usable in the desktop version of Google Spreadsheets. Exciting, that one! Hey, it can't be basketball and video games all the time; sometimes you've gotta work too.
