Office Suite Application: Zoho Writer
I tested out the Zoho Writer. I found this to be very comprable to Microsoft Word and even has some perks that Microsoft does not have. One perk is that you are able to save your documents online or offline so that you are able to access your documents from any computer. Another benefit to this is that you can share your documents with co-workers by making them public. It includes almost all of the formatting features of Microsoft Word, although there are fewer font choices and does not include clip art. I also really like the fact that you are able to access all features on one menu without any searching and that you can post documents to your blog. I think that this application is very user friendly and makes a good substitute for Microsoft.
Photo Editing Application: FotoFlexer
I had a lot of fun playing around with FotoFlexer. They have so many different settings and things you can do to edit your pictures, such as adding animations, borders and text. Of course you can do the basic editing like cropping, resizing, red eye reduction and use other similar tools. One thing I really enjoyed was that you can edit photos from other websites such as Facebook, MySpace and Flickr as well as photos saved on your computer. It also makes it easy to share photos that you have edited through email or posting onto a website. There is a description of all the tools on the homepage as well as a demo that you can watch to explain how each tool works. Another easy to use application that I would highly recommend using. It was a lot of fun and easy to use.

I would consider testing this out. Does one have to register to use? Sounds very similar to Picnik and BeFunky (one that was not on our list). I have not checked out Zoho Writer, but if it works anything like Word, then that is a good selling point for teachers who are familiar with Microsoft products.
Thanks :)
I was able to do my editing of the photos without joining, but I think if you want to save your pictures on that site you will need to join. However, I was able to save them to my PC. I'm not sure of the advantage to being a member.
