Thing #13

At first, I was not at all pleased with exploring Zoho. I didn't see the point of yet another word processing program. I did like that it was set up similarly to Microsoft Word, which I am already familiar with. After reading about Zoho writer, I understood why - being able to keep your documents on and offline and having the ability to access documents from any location would be wonderful. Even as a college student, I've had moments of panic when I think I've made a mistake on a paper that I am getting ready to turn in and don't have time to go back home and correct the mistake. This would be the kind of issues professionals would encounter as well. Being able to access the documents from any computer would be fantastic!

Google docs seems just as useful as any word processing program I've ever used. At first glance it seems like a streamlined program. It's easy to see options for your document and to see how to edit and create a document. I'm a big fan of Google. I have a personal Gmail account, I love using Google for search tools, and I love that Google allows you to connect your smartphone to your computer and can keep all of your information, pictures, documents, emails, etc. in one place and easy to access.

I created the image above with Google docs drawing. Google docs is easy to use and easy to access. Overall, I liked both options but would probably use Google docs before I would use Zoho because I already have an account with Google.
