Testing Zoho, 1-2-3!

An article in this month's School Library Journal reviewed some on-line slideshow programs. The first one was at google.docs ... and because I have a Google account (which is what Blogger is), I went there first. :( /me no like. Very basic, not much fun. So I next tried Zoho, which I thought was brilliant ... until I came to the part where I could embed the slideshow in my blog ... and it doesn't work in this blog. And we all know I've been embedding in this blog until the cows wended their way homeward. So, if you want to see what I created, you'll have to click on the link:

Other than the embedding problem, I found it loads of fun to use. Sure, it could use more flashy stuff like Scrapblog, but Zoho is more a business site and Scrapblog is a fun site. There is lots more office software available on Zoho and I think it would be a very useful tool for our patrons who would like to share the work they do or who need an on-line alternative to the Microsquash Office.
Now, if they can only work out that embedding thingie.
