The writing on the wall: Week 8, Thing 18

So where was this online productivity stuff when I was in graduate school? I wish I had known about Zoho and/or Google docs a couple years ago. It would have helped tremendously when I was working on my group projects and papers while in graduate school. I think that this product would help a lot for students who are working on projects in the library and don't have a way to save them, i.e. floppy disk, flash drive, etc. I think it would work well with group projects because people would be able to add or change information without having to worry about program compatibility between different programs. I could see where this would also be useful for the many people who use our computers for doing their work or projects. I would have to be one of those people who would save it both using the program and on some other storage device. I would be too nervous about losing my work. It was very easy to export the document though into MS Word.
