Online applications and tools

Uses and advantages
To be able to search for any application on the web and just start using it without the expense usually associated with business type, software applications is a very useful discovery. I'm sure there are many people out there that would have a limited requirement for a slide show application for example. This new technology opens the opportunities for using this application up to a much broader audience.
In the library
Our library already has access to the types of software applications that are being provided online by GoogleDocs and Zoho etc. The real use in the library would be in using the collaborative tools where you can share the document.
Compare
Zoho seems much more comprehensive than GoogleDoc. It has all the tools that you could possibly need in a very comprehensive toolbar. GoogleDoc's has to rely on downloads from other applications in some instances. Zoho also seems quite user friendly and gives access to many different types of software applications in the one place.
