After Writely and ThinkFree, I’ve come across another interesting online alternative to Word called Zoho Writer.  This has a very neat interface, which I assume uses AJAX, and some very interesting features.  It looks like a combination of the best components of the other two.  You can invite people to collaborate with you on the […]

Or at least an accuracy warning?  Publishing anything on the Internet is incredibly easy, without the checks and balances and editorial control applied in the traditional media.  That’s part of its beauty, but it comes with some risks.  That means that you need to take care in how you use the words you’ll find, and […]

by @ Wednesday, January 18th, 2006. Filed under Business 2.0, Web 2.0, Collaboration, Social Tagging

 
Now that Del.icio.us is owned by Yahoo!, I really thought I should give it a try.  The power of  being able to get at your bookmarks from any PC helps me enormously in many of the projects I do, and the ease of tagging them for finding later is a jump ahead of MyWeb 2.0 […]
