Thing 13

Today, I was asked to use Zoho writer and Google Docs and compare them to see which one I liked more. To be honest, I couldn't pick. They both performed well and there didn't seem to be any real difference between the two other than their abilities to share. Because Google his its fingers in practically everything, It is able to be shared through more mediums. Zoho, however, appears able to only be shared wish other Zoho users.  So, I suppose if I HAD to choose which one I like more, I would have to go with Google Docs just because it can be shared to a wider audience with less hassle.

Either one is great for collaborative work. I say "is" because, while I only have about as much experience with Zoho as could fill a thimble, the overall set up is the same as Google Docs. So, I would think that would be just as effective as  Google Docs as collaborative work. Last semester, I had to do a PBL project in a group. Because we all lived so far apart and had such different class schedules, Google Docs came in very handy. We were always able to access it from wherever we were and meet our deadlines that we set for ourselves. Without Google Docs, we would have had to try to fabricate more time in the day to dedicate to our group work or run the chance of things getting lost in e-mail and not being able to get our points across which would have caused an insurmountable communication barrier.
