Wow...living in a cloud...having the world at your fingertips. It all sounds pretty Utopian, but it is becoming a reality all too soon. I really think that at some point in our lives now, we have used one or more of these tools online. I have used Zoho in the past to compose a document when I was not able to use my computer at home. It was very simple and having the option to save my document or email it was great. I really think, with the increase of Internet usage at the libraries, that online word processing should be rather than having to deal with flash drivers or CDs. The templates that both Zoho and GoogleDocs use would be great to help some patrons that come in and need to make up a resume, a cover letter, or some other type of document that the library staff may not deal with on a daily basis.
We all have uses for many of these tools, but in the library setting some of the tools are still just a little bit "in the clouds." We can still strive to use all of the tools out there. Even things that we believe are new and over our heads one day maybe the tools we can not live without the next.
