Zoho Show 2.0 Launches Today

June 25, 2008 · Comments

Zoho Show Zoho, everybody’s favorite cloud software developer, released a new 2.0 version of Zoho Show today. It’s presentation software that includes slide making features as well as chatting, remote sharing, and desktop sharing, making it a little more powerful than your typical Powerpoint or Keynote, insofar as features goes. That’s one of the tricks with Zoho. They’ve built such a suite of apps that they can mix and match.

Some of the changes in 2.0 target ease of use, and this is probably where I’ve complained a bit about certain Zoho apps in the past. I’ll tell you that I used it while on a conference call to doodle out what you see below, and it worked super easy and intuitively.

Zoho also allows you to embed the presentation on another site after you publish it (like SlideShare), and has about a dozen features that I didn’t cover here. If you’re in the world of presentations, this might be worth considering as a free, flexible offering. The closest similar product online is Google Docs and their presentation software, but I tell you, Zoho’s product works, looks, and feels better.

Good job, Zoho.

ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

Thesis WordPress theme

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

  • What is CRM and what do you use it for? Otherwise, I don't get this; it looks like juvenile powerpoint on steroids (or on webex)...
  • Thanks for the nice post, Chris! And thanks to Steve, Hanifa, Jacob, & Luke for the appreciation :-) Keep using Zoho.
  • Zoho is really starting to get back on the radar again! I believe their product management and productivity tools are some of the best available online!
  • hey chris,

    i use several of the zoho tools already and i am definitely a big fan of their products, especially their crm solution. i will be sure to check out zoho show. do you use any other of their products?

  • i don't use presentations. but i am personally glad you write this post cus i hate html. when i tried mail opt-in on my website, zoho creator is simply plug and play.
  • Hey, Chris. This is very good news indeed. I've been using Zoho's very robust CRM system with Outlook integration, and I've been very pleased with my ability to manage a "pipeline" of client work through various stages, while keeping track of conversations and emails automatically.

    Bravo to Zoho. SaaS is the next new killer app...
