#18 Online Productivity Tools: My Zoho Writing

I’m writing this using Zoho writer, and this is pretty easy! I’m used to Google Docs. I’ve shared docs with my husband, my father (when we took a class together last year), and it’s very convenient. Especially when we’re on two different systems. Using Zoho and Google Docs to share documents between windows and a mac make things MUCH easier! We can collaborate, edit, and share ideas amongst each other.

I like the ease of editing, changing formats, collaborating, and portability of using these tools. I can save it, and use it wherever I have access next. Zoho has a lot of options in terms of formating, linking, and including html, and other features. I can just click a button to add a table, change the style, even add a smileyface! surprised

I also tried Zoho Sheet, and I like how fast it loads, how organized it is, and how easy it is to edit! I might start using Zoho in addition to my Google Docs. I still like Google Docs, partly because I already have so many other Google accounts, and it’s nice having everything in one place. Occasionally at the Reference desk I’ll get a question regarding where a patron can use Word or Excel, and I used to have to tell them where the computer labs were. Last year when Google Docs was first announced, I started referring the patrons to Google Docs, and now I can also add Zoho to that list. It’s nice being able to do a lot of things you’d normally need software for, but using only the internet. It’s also more portable and collaborative, so I can the use in libraries (obviously) increasing.

I can’t seem to embed part of a spreadsheet I created in ZohoSheet, so I’ll keep looking into it. It’s probably WordPress, so that’ll make Dee happy. =)
