New York Times on Zoho Writer


Randall Stross from New York Times took a dive into Zoho Writer

exploring the features and comparing it to Microsoft Word. This article

titled 'Small company offers web-based competition for Microsoft Word'

appeared today in the Technology section of the New York Times. It is also available in the print version.


Randy notes....


The best online word processor, however, may be the one from a tiny

company, Zoho, a nimble innovator. Zoho Writer is running close enough

to Word to imagine that it and other online word processors will be

able to do most everything that Word can do, and more.


Zoho Writer handles the basics and provides many advanced functions

without breaking a sweat — like the ability to edit a document when

page breaks are displayed. Google Docs can’t. Writer works even when

one is offline, thanks to open source technology developed by Google,

and used by Zoho in its word processor four months before Google used

it.


Zoho Writer also provides some esoteric features, like a choice of

footnotes or endnotes, with note numbers in superscript, placed in the

text. Google Docs does only footnotes and puts in a pound sign as a

placeholder. You may never need to create the most complex mathematical

equations, but Zoho Writer makes it easy to do so.


We believe in feature rich applications and keep adding these features frequently. You may not need these

advanced features every day. But it is always good to know that you have

those features when you need them.


Also, we don't believe in advertising inside our

applications. We hate seeing ads in our Productivity & Business

apps. After all, these apps are supposed to make you productive and not

distract you with ads, right?


The article makes few good points. Please do check it out. Thank you for a great article, Randy.
