Give Zoho a Chance

zoho Better sources than I are covering Zoho’s announcement that you can now use Zoho Writer offline using Google Gears, meaning that you can use a rich, useful, web application, even when you’re offline, and then sync the data back up to the Internet when you’re connected.

Look at all these apps:

Online Office, Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Presentation, CRM and more - Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 1 (Build 2007110903)

So, for free, you can have access to a web-based, simple, networked, collaboration-focused suite of powerful tools, including a database software, presentation software, groupware, chat, etc, etc, etc.

I met the guys form Zoho at TechCrunch40 in San Francisco. Good bunch. The thing I can’t figure out, and this is just in my head, is why I haven’t made the switch to their products. They’ve got EVERYTHING. What the heck am I waiting for?

So maybe I’ll make this a personal project in December. Maybe I’ll do everything officey, except my email, inside Zoho’s walls, and see how it all feels.

How about you? Want to take the Zoho Challenge? Swing by Zoho, set up an account, and see what you can get done with their products.
