Web 2.0 Exploration 6 Online Office Tools

I was just getting ready to post before lunch that I didn't see the point in using Zoho for work when it won't send by email but now after lunch my emailed document has arrived to my supervisor. So I will amend my opinion in favor of using on line office tools to share documents.

One thing I observed in creating my document was that there didn't seem to be any indication of typos/misspelling errors like you get in a Word document. I wonder what's up with that. I'll go back later and try some editing tools.

I have tried to publish my document straight from Zoho to this blog and was not successful. I'll try again later.

In theory these tools should be useful in doing documents that can be created and edited by several people. I would want to see a faster delivery via email before I could give this a thumbs up.

Don't you know that I've not had a single patron ask for Excel or PowerPoint since I discovered that you can use these on-line tools. Maybe the public was already up on this technology before I was?!

Even if the emailing is slow with our work emails, you can still share a document with someone else who has a Zoho account. Once that is done, either person can sign in and work on the document at any time.
