Exercise#18: Online Productivity (not an oxymoron this time)

Great flippin' tool. Who would have anything negative to say about it? Granted there will be those who are devoted to using their preferred suites of services, but for convenience and simplicity this is a great tool for anyone who has a need to produce documents and such. I am finding it a little stickier to publish directly from Zoho Writer or Google Docs than I anticipated, though, for something seemingly simple. Hmm, I'll have to get back to that and play around. In any case, if you are using these "Online Productivity Tools" (high hopes there with the P word) then you have to be impressed that they are so readily available and excited that you'll never be worrying about competing platforms and carrying storage devices and such. During the course of the past 6 months or more I have shared the tool with a few patrons here at the branch in an effort to turn 'em on to the possibilities and they were duly impressed if a little dubious at first. How are you not gonna like the potential of something so practical? In the words of Bill & Ted ... "excellent!"
