Online Applications and Tools - Week 8

I have been reading about 'Zoho' an online application which includes Zoho Writer and Zoho Spreadsheets.

The great thing about Zoho is that it is all done online, no need to have the right software installed in your computer. Just connect to Zoho Writer, for example, and create a document or use Zoho Spreadsheets to do accounting calculations. A document or spreadsheet can easily be edited online and anyone can read the document as a public file on a webpage. Documents can also be shared and files upload all done online.

Another advantage of using Zoho or for that matter any online application is that it can be accessed from any computer anywhere! No need to carry around a USB drive or disc.

One disadvantage I thought about is that computers still on a dial-up internet service may be a bit slow and lag.
