Zoho, Baby, Zoho.

I’ve been really digging Google Notebook lately.  It’s been a handy GTD tool, and the “note this” feature on my right click rocks.  I wish there was some way to get it to come up without leaving the keyboard.  I have a lot of love for Google, and I truly hope that they buy Zoho soon.

Zoho has made the web the platform in a way that I’ve not yet seen anywhere else.  Google spreadsheets is cool because it’s got the link embedded in our gmail.  But Zoho feels like running a better, cooler version of MS office on a really bad computer.  If they get the speed upgraded, then there will be no reason to use MS office.

I tried to do a resume in google aps not long ago.  It was barely functional.

I did a resume in Zoho yesterday.

It rocked.  (I’m doing a resume not because I have any desire to change jobs.  At all.  I think a resume is something you should ALWAYS have just like you should ALWAYS go on 6 job interviews a year).

So I made mine here.     It took about 20 minutes, and it was just to learn if Zoho worked or not.  And it does, man.   I hate bashing the church of Google.  Online Docs and Spreadsheets is a REALLY cool idea, but this is just incredible.   It works as a printable resume as well–though not QUITE as slick.

Not bad for a 15 minute effort though–and it’s one that I can carry with me.

Anyway Zoho is a leg up and I’m eager to try out the rest of their products.
