Zoho writer is very helpful, because it's almost like using Microsoft Word processor, but in an online application. Just like a Word document, you can change the format, insert images, URLs, etc. and basically anything else that Microsoft can do (that I know of).

Google Docs is a good web application to use, because it works as a word processor, but also sort of an email also. You can share or send your documents, spreadsheets, drawings to anyone with the press of a button. This will be very beneficial when it comes to my classroom, because students can use it to do projects and such and then send/share them with me and their classmates fairly easily.

If I had to choose between Zoho Writer and Google Docs, I would have to choose Google Docs, for a few reasons. My main reason is because I am more familiar with Google, and I have always felt more comfortable with the more familiar. Also, Google Docs makes it easier to share my creations with others through email or links in Facebook, Google+, etc. I understand Zoho does some of these things too, but I know more people are aware of how to use Google applications than other stuff. Before today, I had never heard of Zoho, and I am sure most of the people I would want to send things to have not heard of it either. Why use a new site when you're already familiar with another site that does the same things?
