hello world. I'm writing to you from Zoho Writer. I usually choose Google's online productivity tools to create an online workspace for me and my colleagues. I can also make pages only accessible by me. Google apps have many great features, but I am focusing on Zoho since I have never used this app.

I am liking Zoho so far. It's just like working in a normal word doc. you can format and add pictures and tables and links and even and highlight...blah blah blah. You can also decide if you want your documents to be public or private, and there are a number of ways that you can share or format your docs (i.e. email, web page, pdf, doc file). You can also assign "read only" or "write" rights for collaboration purposes. No longer do you have to circulate one coffee stained copy of a document from person to person.

The real test of Zohos's powers is if this actually shows up as a blog posting. I'm going to use their publishing tools to go straight there. *So, obviously, if you're reading this, it worked. Thing #18....check check check.

*Okay, it didn't work when I tried to publish to this blog from Zoho, and I am thinking it's because this blog is technically a Blogger blog, but I post it to my own domain and is being blocked due to ftp rights. I was successful sending it to another of my blogs that is officially a blogger blog with a blogspot address, but I am not going to provide a link to that blog here because you probably don't want to know all about my battles with gophers in my backyard. So, technically it did work......and it was a super easy process.
