THING #19 Discovering Web 2.0 Tools
I think I'm starting to figure out how Web 2.0 allows us all to share messages across the web. Web tools are the sites where the sharing takes place. I checked out several of the Web 2.0 Awards Nominees and saw several sites that we have learned about in the previous 18 THINGS such as, pbwiki, technorati, zoho, flickr and rollyo.

Welcome to Zoho Writer
Your Word Processor on the Web
Zoho Writer sports a new, refreshing and intuitive user interface. It is the word processor designed for you, the next generation web citizen. Built using AJAX technology, it's fast and revolutionizes the way you work with documents. Having all your documents online (and offline too! we'll get back to that later!!), you have access to them from any computer, at home or at work. And no more emailing them back-and-forth to your colleagues, clients or friends for review, thanks to its instant collaboration, online commenting and chat facilities.
Signed up for a free account with Zoho.com and learned about the many on-line web applications they have to offer. Several were similar to smart zone communications through Comcast, my source of e-mail communication. I enjoyed opening up the Zoho Writer document and adding it to my blog. Wow, the power of the on-line web is amazing!
