Thing #13: Web-based Applications

I see how a web-based application like Zoho Writer can be beneficial to eliminate problems related to compatibility between versions of Microsoft Office programs such as Word and Excel. I was surprised at the variety of applications available: a presentation tool, a word processor, a web application creator, a notebook, etc. I did not expect to find instant messaging and invoicing functions. I created a document using Zoho Show (the online presentation tool). I was actually very surprised by how much the program fuctions like Microsoft PowerPoint. I found it very easy to find what I needed to create a basic presentation. I also like the ability to export as a PPT file.
