Thing #18 - Take a look at some online productivity (word processing, spreadsheet) tools

Wow, Zoho is really complete.  They really do give Microsoft Office a run for their money.  I like the "tags as folders" idea.  That's pretty handy, and trés 2.0.  The document sharing is a nice feature too.  I think it's a little foreign to the way we are used to doing things, but once people mess around with it, I think it will be popular. The Spanish Practice Group used Writely (now Google Docs) to work on the translation of the library brochure.

undecided  I really don't like emoticons.  But I thought I'd try it, just for the practice.

I like how easy the special characters are to use!  Much easier than Microsoft.  I will do all my Spanish documents with Zoho!

I did not mean to write this.  Wow, everything is so easy with this toolbar.  The strikethrough is right there.  I know all this stuff is there somewhere in Word, but it's always a little bit of a hunt.  With Zoho, it's very intuitive.  Nifty.

Don't you just love tables?






Well, I published this from Zoho. The formatting came out a little weird, and the emoticon didn't show, but other than that it's not bad. I'm impressed with Zoho. I think I'll use it in the future. You can even print out in PDF format so it doesn't look like a printed webpage. And it's easy to register for and use, so it will be useful for patrons who want word processing.

Interesting -- I had no idea that the Catfish word for 6 was ninety-seven.
