#18 Web-based Apps: They're not just for desktops

Created a Zoho account & had a play with Zoho writer & Zoho Show.
I can see the similarities to MS Word & MS Publisher. The best feature that I have found that the MS products do not have is the spell check in 43 languages, great for writing letters to my godparents in Germany. Not very useful for writing to my penpal in China as there are no script languages covered. In creating a show presentation to add to by blog I discovered a number of idiosyncrasies, the biggest being that it has the bad habit of clearing what you are working on. The easiest way to stop this is save your document every few minutes or after creating each slide.
