Thing 9

Ok, just learned a new thing about Thing 8. My laptop did not appreciate heavy active graphics.

I have used Google Docs a lot before now. I tried to get in and work on the sample document, but I didn't have permission. I'm not sure how to get it. I have shared docs with google before though. I was always invited to do so, though. I have asked for permission and maybe will get it.

I like the way Google docs automatically saves the document. I like the way you can start a new document or spreadsheet or whatever. I may be biased however, since I used Google docs first.

I like the large, friendly save button on the Google docs. Zoho has a tiny save button. It is not friendly.

Both programs share easily. That's nice.

Here is the zoho link

Here is the googledoc link

Both sites are handy for libraries since they would allow users to do word processing without the library having to have that program on that computer.

BTW, I added a cat to my blog. He is entertaining.

Edited to add:
I got some permissions to share docs so I did.

I still like googledocs better. But the exercise was entertaining...

Thing 8

Ok, I actually used my photobucket account for that presentation because that's where I already had the photos loaded.

I signed up for Zoho and quickly realized I needed to allow more scripts to get the thing to work.



I can see where these might be cool. I think that one of these sort of tools is in use on our website for the remodel photos. My current montages aren't particularly goos because they aren't focussed.

The shared databases can be fun. I have some I share with my friend so we can track which movies and things we own. I can see how it could be useful for work, listing books and things.
