Week 8 : Online Applications & Tools

This week we play around with Zoho Writer.

Interesting but... The notion of sharing and being able to alter the one document has been done before. Yes it has all sorts of features like exporting and adding hyperlinks and it could be used in communication between staff and the borrower but I find Wikis more exciting and friendly for that purpose. Did anyone else have the trouble I've had with username/password access and confirmation sent to their email address? That was very frustrating and I think the average borrower would avoid it like the plague.

The danger here might be in overloading people with too much new technology just because its there and we already know our older patrons don't like what we have already.
