Well goodness it has been a while since my last post and I feel very guilty. For this week we were meant to take a look at some online productivity tools. I signed up for Zoho Writer what seems like an eternity ago. It is an online word processor which allows you to share your documents with your friends. At first I thought what is the point of this I have Microsoft Office why do I need Zoho. But after checking out their website and trying it out I can see how it would be very useful. It is a great way to share documents without having to constantly email and get confused about different versions of documents. I also thought this would be great for people who have an Apple Mac computer at home and use microsoft at work. This way you can simply save your document online and access it from the different computers. I found Zoho Writer to be very similar to Microsoft Office word it has very similar features and is easy to use. Zoho also has many other applications such as Zoho sheet which is a spreadsheet application and Zoho Show which is a presentation tool. It came 2nd in the Web 2.0 awards in the organization category with high scores for usability and usefulness.
