Zoho Briefs: New MS Plug-In; Zoho Meeting Gets Tested, Co-Browsing Available

Zoho, the robust and powerful suite of web-based productivity tools (almost all free for the end user) has announced that their MS Office plugin has been upgraded. Key features in this release:

+ Of course, the MS Office plugin is optional.
Key enhancements in this release:

++ Multi-user Support
++ Offline editing of documents/workbooks
++ Added a new tab - Local Documents
++ Option to keep a local copy
+++ Download Plugin

+ Note from Gary:
Yesterday, I had the chance to use the Zoho Meeting (beta) to transmit my desktop (primarily live web-browsing) to various friends and colleagues. Setting up a meeting was fast and with only a very very few minor glitches (in most cases, due to a lack of knowledge about how Zoho Meeting works in the first place). Overall, the service operated very well. We also liked the "Switch To" drop-down menu at the very top of the page that makes moving to other Zoho apps quick and easy. It's also possible with one click to allow users to take control and use your computer to show something. In other words, librarians and others who like to "co-browse" the web or specific sites/databases/etc. can do it with minimal effort. Getting full control back is just a click away. Btw, this feature might also be useful for road warriors who want to access their home computer while they are away. Remote access is either automatic (the others listening can just take control) or require the meeting host to grant permission. Obviously automatic is the way to go here unless, someone back at home will be around to grant you permission. More about Zoho Meeting here including some training videos. Also, a frequently asked question. Zoho does have a presentation (aka slide program) named Zoho Show and yes, you can create your slides using Zoho Show or import "decks" (10MB or less) created with PowerPoint or OpenOffice.
The price for Zoho Show? At least at this point, during the beta period, it's free.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
