Online Productivity Tools

I tried the three online productivity products and found that Google Docs was my favorite due to its variety of content [calendars, docs, presentations, etc] and ease of use. I felt like it was very Office-like. Zoho Writer was my next choice and I found the editing and creating of new documents very easy and innovative on this site. Think Free was my least favorite and I will least likely return to it.

I really liked the fact that you can use tags to label your documents and find them in a variety of folders without having to save them in multiple locations.

I would not be willing to give up Microsoft Office for one of these tools YET – but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future.

I also don’t think schools and businesses should abandon installed versions of these productivity tools for the online version I do think there is a possibility that these types of products will continue to improve and challenge the purchased programs to constantly improve to remain competitive.

At this point, I am still more comfortable using the installed productivity tools without regard to the cost and would choose them over the free tools but I do think there are some really wonderful aspects to consider for their future success.
