My previous post — the one so imaginitively titled, “Test” — was a trial run of using Zoho Writer to publish to my blog. I’ve been a loyal Google Docs user for sometime now (I think Google has brainwashed me, but I’m not complaining!) but how incredibly awesome is it that there is now a tool that you can use to do word processing for free, collaborate online, view your docs offline, and publish to the web? What a fascinating modern age we live in!
Check it out for youself at zoho.com.
UPDATE
I showed this site to a friend while we were collaborating on a long-distance blog post. I hadn’t fully explored it before inviting her to the document. After a few moments, I realized that there was a chat window next to our document and she was asking in wonderment, “What is this place?!” The site was definitely overwhelming to a new person, but the fact that we could be chatting while working on the same document, all in the same window was extraordinary!
(We did end up not using it because translating the formatting from Zoho to WordPress seemed a bit clunky. We’re just too in the habit of writing html tags while we write.)
