Zoho, one of those off-brand online office applications wannabes that dreams of putting Microsoft out of business and heading off Google, has put some of its free widgetry on Facebook, the social networking site, via a Facebook-embedded widget, a move that might prove to be quite clever.Facebook users with Zoho accounts can use Zoho's word processor, spreadsheet and presentation code - Write, Sheet and Show - and share documents but - whoops - there's no link back to Facebook and sharing isn't exactly slick.

I've seen Zoho's stuff, that's not bad, but why there's so much HTML apps going out on the market ? Why people are still selecting a so restrictive web "environment" ? That amaze me. The web can be so much more than that. But excluding the technology, i must admit that's a nice move they did with facebook. |
