iWork for iCloud beta now open to anyone with an Apple ID

iWork for iCloud beta now open to anyone with an Apple ID

First it was available to developers, then a select few who received invitations, and now the beta of iWork for iCloud is available for all. Apple’s made no official announcement, but point your browser to icloud.com, punch in your Apple ID details, and there you have it: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Seeming as you normally have to pay for the iWork software suite, this could be a time-sensitive public beta that’ll be pulled once you’ve found all the bugs (this editor has full access without owning any of the iWork programs). So, you might as well have a go at being productive in the cloud before it’s too late.

Apple sends iWork for iCloud beta invitations to everyday users

Apple sends iWork for iCloud beta invitations to everyday users

Apple was quick to invite developers to the iWork for iCloud beta in the aftermath of WWDC, but us commoners have had to settle for watching from afar. The company is quickly opening things up, however — it just started sending out beta invitations to ordinary iCloud users, including some Engadget readers. While this isn’t likely to represent Apple’s promised public beta, it’s clear that we’re now much closer to the day when everyone can give the web-based iWork a try.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Apple unveils iWork for iCloud

Apple unveils iWork for iCloud

iWork has been a traditional software suite ever since it first launched (the brief availability of iWork.com notwithstanding), but Apple is bringing it to the web in earnest today by revealing iWork for iCloud. The suite includes Keynote, Numbers and Pages, and each of the web apps preserves many of the same real-time editing features as its iOS and Mac counterparts. The collection officially supports Chrome, Internet Explorer and (logically) Safari, although you’ll likely be waiting awhile to try them: only developers get an iWork beta today, and a public beta is due later this year.

Facebook introduces verified Pages and Profiles

Facebook introduces verified Pages and Profiles

Taking a page out of the book of other social networks, Facebook is now making it possible to verify celebs and other high-profile people and companies. The feature, which consists of a small blue checkmark sitting next to their name, extends to Pages and Profiles of popular individuals and businesses, as a way to limit the confusion a reader may experience when trying to filter between real and fake accounts. It appears that Facebook is taking upon itself the duty of deciding who to verify, but it’s still a good way to ensure that your favorite Engadget Facebook Page is manned by — you know — actual Engadget editors (nudge nudge, Mark!).

Google Takeout now liberating Blogger and Google+ Pages

Google Takeout now liberating Blogger, Google Pages

Google Takeout’s export functions have slowly extended their reach from profiles and personal contacts to heftier material, such as all our videos. However much we’ve been using that data portability, Google is eliminating what few gaps are left in its coverage: the company’s Data Liberation Front has expanded Takeout to preserve both Blogger content as well as Google+ Pages. Web denizens can cherry-pick just the blogs or Pages they want if a whole-enchilada backup is too much. Regardless of how large a safety net we need, the new options are ready and waiting at the source links.

Google+ Pages gain interaction with those beyond their circles, will get analytics soon

Google Pages gain interaction with those beyond their circles, will get analytics soon

Many running Google+ Pages for their companies have likely been frustrated by the lack of interaction with some of their fans — if visitors haven’t already put the brand in a circle, they’ve been off-limits regardless of their interest. A quiet change may have just opened the floodgates. Pages can now share, comment on and +1 posts from those who weren’t already followers. Google hasn’t made the change official, but it is promising a feature that’s ultimately complementary: Pages should get their own analytics for demographics and social activity in the “coming weeks,” giving owners an idea as to who they’re attracting. While we hope that the loosened restrictions don’t lead to unwanted conversations in our feeds, they’re undoubtedly valuable to companies that just want to share good news or offer a helping hand.
