What a good idea! This site allows you to send emails at a later date. You can send an email to yourself as a reminder or to your friends or relatives to inform them of something at a later date. I think this works better as a reminder service rather than a scheduler. But either way, I think it has potential to be of great use to many. So lets take for example, you have to remind your husband to buy some bread when he gets back, but sending it too early is pointless. So why not schedule to send maybe half an hour before he gets off from work? This way, you can be sure he will remember to buy the bread. Furthermore, it allows you to send emails with attachments, create HTML emails, send recurring emails and offers "local" time schedules.

One of the problems with documents is that it is kind of different to share with different users. Word, Excel and other files, they just aren't meant for sharing. Of course nowadays file sharing is much easier than before, but still it is a bit tedious to do real file sharing. And even if you can share files easily, there is also a problem of editing content and knowing who did what and what was changed. The problem is saved if you can do editing at the same time. This way you can see what is exactly being changed on the document. Any mistakes can be corrected on the fly as well. And don't worry, there is no complicated steps for this document sharing. You simply start a document and then share it with others. And when they do any changes, you will see it real-time! Users can save the file anytime they want so nothing will be lost.
