This is pretty nice. Free word processing software that looks fairly easy to use. Wow, there are even some emoticons to throw in for good measure. Let's see, how am I feeling right now? I think that one might imply a bit of writer's block, so that feels appropriate.

The text above is what I published from Zoho Writer. It truncated my entry, as you can see where it cuts off. Also I'm not seeing my emoticon, but rather something that says "sealed." Maybe others can see it. I'm not sure why all that happened. There definitely seem to be some limitations here.
As I wondered about why someone might need this online word processor, it occurred to me that at school, Blogger is BLOCKED. I think perhaps you could go to Zoho Writer, write an entry and publish it. It would give you a way around the district filters. Interesting!
I explored a bit further and see that there are a variety of tools in Zoho Writer, including Zoho Sheet (spreadsheet), Zoho Show (presentation), Zoho Wiki, Zoho Notebook (didn't quite "get" this one), Zoho Planner (a calendar-type planner), Zoho Creator (allows you to set up forms and stuff, I think), Zoho Chat (kinda like I-M), Zoho Meeting (webconferencing!). Not only that, you can change the language the programs are set up in. There are several choices. Wouldn't that be helpful for students of other languages! Once again, I am overwhelmed! Wow.
