I can see how having these applications on the web can make it a lot easier for people to use and share. Plus, it’s free. From the testimonials given for Google docs, it seems there is more use for the sharing of spreadsheets. However, I just set up a short word doc. Google Docs was fairly intuitive, but Zoho had much better explanation and seemed easier to use. I did have some questions about folders in Zoho. I get that Tags are folders, and I clicked on tag and set up my “folder”, but I couldn’t seem to get it over to the left and I’m not sure my doc is in it.
Again, the main beauty of these aps is that you can share them. A whole lot less emailing here. Perhaps this would be helpful for the Library’s RTC process since there are so many copies going back and forth after revisions are made.

Any process that requires multiple people to contribute to a document is probably a candidate for online collaboration. Also usually there is a revision history available, so if someone should accidentally destroy pieces of the doc, you should be able to revert back to a previous state. That’s probably a helpful feature!
