Week 8 - Online Applications & Tools

It's great to be able to manipulate the same documents/ spreadsheets/ presentations from any computer using these online application tools. I used to save my incomplete work and library photos taken on my digital camera onto my flash drive to work on elsewhere. I can now easily upload files etc from home and access them at work place. I had a look at Zoho writer. The features are similar to Google Docs. Since I already had an account with Google, I decided to stick with it.

Here’s a simple coconut cookies recipe from a colleague at Central Library compiled in Google Docs:
