Thing #13


I have used both of these websites (Google Docs and Zoho Writer) and they are very similar to each other.  They both allow you to compose a writing document where you can chose from a slim selection of font styles (compared to Microsoft Word).  They both seem to use similar formulas to execute certain operations within a spreadsheet document and they share nearly identical template as well.  One way that Google docs triumphs Zoho Writer is by offering a “drawing” and a “form” workbench.  The drawing is not as user friendly as I am accustomed to with Microsoft; however, it provides some entertaining values.  The “form” application is pretty astounding though.  It appears to share some likeness to online e-vites.  One can decorate a piece of documentation and send it to anyone with a notification or an invitation.  I was unaware that workstation like this existed.  It does not require any credit card information or a purchase.  These two tools will service students well because they are not forced to purchase a Microsoft product if they purchase a personal computer.  If they have access to the internet, they can simply log on to their workstation with one of these two websites and produce a professional document, create an eye-pleasing presentation or manage a spreadsheet to organize a long list that may require number manipulation.
