I have been using Google docs for about six months now. I love having important documents and spreadsheets available to me no matter what public library I am at. I have played with Zoho, but seem to prefer Google.
I liked Google Docs and Zoho. I could not get Zoho Writer to load. I could get all of the other Zoho programs to come up except that one. I think it is really helpful to be able to take your documents, spreadsheets and presentations with you wherever you go and not have to worry about the computer you will be using not having Microsoft Office software. Also, my pick from the Web 2.0 Awards site was One Sentence. It is a site filled with true stories. The catch is, all of the stories are told in one sentence. I like the site because I like words. It challenges you to tell a story in as few words as possible. I guess the best application of One Sentence in a library setting would be using it with young adults. It could help to interest them in reading and effective use of words.
I tried Zoho, and while I can see the usefulness of being about to pull up your documents at any library, I don't think it is something that I'll keep up with.
My pick from the Web 2.0 Awards was the Cocktail Builder, which has nothing to do with learning, unless you're an aspiring bartender. I did think it was neat, though.
I liked exploring in 2.0, even though it took me away from my first love...cataloging! My favorites were Blogger, Flickr, Picnik and Daily Motion. I currently use myyahoo and you tube and I have a myspace page...Reel Librarian. Since we have all these techy tools to use...keep in touch. Take care, RL/DM
I love the idea of being able to access my genealogical documents from any computer anywhere, and also to share them easily with other family researchers -- a wonderful benefit of Zoho. I had no idea these programs were available. And, of course, that has been the best part of Learning 2.0 -- discovering some of the incredibly useful sites online. As a born list-maker, I adored Library Thing, and in today's exercise about award-winners I discovered the Monarch of All List-Making Sites: Listdump! (What a comfort to discover that there are even more fanatical listmakers out there than I am!) Thanks again to our generous TSLA instructors for walking us through this wonderful learning experience!
While learning all the new and quite interesting technology of the Internet was fun and some of it being useful. I still have my old school ways. I wonder about privacy and Internet predatoars. Sharing information via the Internet can be easier and faster for getting things done. But how safe is it? I guess, I have been watching to much "DATELINE INTERNET PREDATOARS". I love taking digital pictures, but I will not be sharing them on flicker. See what I meean "OLD SCHOOL". However, I think I will keep my blog. It's a great way to express yourself.
I tried out Zoho, and needless to say didn't produce anything that I am willing to share. I also checked out the Web 2.0 Award list and went on www.43things.com. This web site wouldn't really be considered useful, but was interesting to look at.

Yay! All 8 weeks done!

Zoho Writer's was intresting and I plan to check out google docs.
Enjoyed Zoho. Thank you for providing the opportunity to work with these new technologies through 2.0.
