Zoho... Zo who?

More cool toys! Apps in the ether! Enjoyed these - Zoho's Zoho Writer and Zoho Sheet - create docs or other files 'out there', and easily grab them back or share them. Yes, I know, doesn't sound that exciting but when you have steam driven technology at home and an outside-world unfriendly main system, being able to carry (not literally) a few files around is definitely a plus. And then there's the ease of use - all the nice goodies on the toolbars - be it the ever popular emoticons, images, 2 click access to special characters and easy file formatting options. (Having found that I could actually get into ZohoWriter from my work desktop, I proceeded to be a good 'Learning 23 Things' cub and do this blog entry from there. Needless to save after getting it nicely underway, I got a 'dialog box of death', so it was back to a standalone PC - when I could get at one!)
There are, of course, various others out there such as ajaxWrite or if you want familiar options, and like using the web-company-that-ate-the-world, Google docs & spreadsheets is out there too.

Thanks for using Zoho Writer and writing about it!

It would be great if you could tell more about the "dialog box of death" that you mention. Is it the 'Page cannot be saved' dialog? If yes, this happens when there is loss of internet connectivity. And Zoho Writer auto-saves after every minute.

Try the other Zoho services as well.

Hi again Sis,

For some reason all my posts are being dated 3rd of October instead of the 4th.

Yet another cyberchallenge. Hee Hee.
