Google Docs, ZohoWriter and other online productivity tools

Online productivity tools are certainly an enhancement to group projects. I'm comfortable with Google Docs, but looked at ZohoWriter to compare formats. GoogleDocs wins in my mind hands down. For familiarity yes, but another major reason is easy of use. Plus anyone with a gmail account already is signed up for GoogleDocs. I have signed up for so many services thanks to 23 Things, each with a different account signin. At some point, consolidation looks most appealing.

GoogleDocs helped as a planning tool for a family wedding. Professionally, I have used it for edits with CapitolChoices projects. We did book annotations this way, and are now working on a planning for the future document. The book annotations, accessing the page etc. were easy. The most recent CapChoices doc is causing members some trouble.

For our Teen Services Annual Reports and Work Plan, maybe a switch to Google Docs would be helpful for us all.
