Thing 9 Online Collaboration Tools

This is a look at ZOHO writer and Google Docs. I can see many apps for this thing. I just started using Google docs myself. It was an easy start because I already had a Google account. The best use I can think of right off, is being able to access documents I have been working on where ever I have internet access. No flash drives, no worries about compatability, or versions of software. This also allows multiple people to work on a project and always know they are viewing the most up to date copy.

Students could find this tool useful...no more lost copies of homework. I plan to look closer at ZOHO in the future. I am glad I found out about it, but for now I will probably continue to use Google Docs. I would like to take the time to compare them, but not right now.
