Thing #13

Well, I have created yet another user name and password.  Thankfully, there are not extreme security settings on the Zoho site, so I was able to use the same user name and password that I have used for a couple of other sites.  It gets a little frustrating when each site may have a little different criteria to establish an account.  Linking to Google on several occasions has been helpful.

I looked around Zoho and find a lot of similarities to Microsoft, but with my layman's experience with different types of computer programs, I find a lot of the features somewhat limited to what most of us are used to in Microsoft.  Which may be the reason why I have not heard of this site or program.  I was interested in collaboration features and can understand how this may be very useful with group projects.  I uploaded a couple of different types of files and found that there was comparability issues with each file.  I could see my interactive Power Point as it was in PPT, however, it did not recognize the links that I used to navigate.  I also uploaded my 5th Grade Language Arts project which I was also able to read but changing formatting was not compatible.  I have used Drop Box many times and have had great success in saving and sharing online.  Frankly, I am open to new things, but if it isn't broken, don't fix it.  I prefer to use the systems that have and do work for me.

Please see a Presentation version from my Google Docs.

Again, these sites can be useful to group projects, but may need to be constructed, viewed and edited all from the online sites.  The offline feature is good, but access will still be required to complete collaboration.

I use my online calendar everyday and looked at each of the calendars available.  I am partial to what I am using largely because it is what I am most familiar.  Both Zoho and the Google docs calendars seem to have limited features to what I am currently using as well which is a reoccurring theme to the other aspects of both programs.
