Google Docs and Zoho

Ok, this week in 2.0, I am, once again- amazed. We have learned about two new online apps that will be totally useful to me in the future. Google Docs and Zoho writer. Sometimes we view apps that I think are fun but will never really use but these are truly useful to everyone who uses the Microsoft office suite. I do have questions though. First, how secure are these apps. For instance, I would imagine that you would not want to create a spreadsheet with any personal financial info. And let's say everyone started using GoogleDocs instead of Word. Will Google ever...overfill with saved documents and crash? To some it may sound stupid, but these are truly things I wonder. Here were my some of my thoughts on the Blackboard discussion.
Zoho

Zoho Writer is awesome. This is a great idea and certainly could be the death of Microsoft Office, just like Skype could be the death of land phone lines (or apps like them in the future)! All of this new technology that we are learning about is so amazing but it's kind of scary that everything is starting to be web-based. This may be a stupid question but is the web truly infinite?
For instance, I love the Document History feature that lets you track every change made to the document. Sometimes that is really helpful and I'm surprised Microsoft Word doesn't have it, but does that mean all of these pre-versions of documents are being saved by millions of people on-line?
Regardless, this is way cool. I love that you can pull up the documents from any PC and also that others can share and edit. laTeX Equation Editor would have been great to have had in Algebra! It was just 3 years ago, I remember thinking that I wish there was a software program that had all of the symbol and function keys so my work could look more professional and look, here it is! I find that revelation happens alot with 2.0.

Google Docs

Are you kidding me? Is there no end to what Google can do? I really would like to attend a workshop/class on just Google alone. I love this week's 2.0. I can't believe we can do all of these apps online. I seriously was going to buy a new laptop because I couldn't access my documents that I create at home elsewhere but who knew, I can! My question is ..can I save the documents I create at Google Docs to my home computer or are they saved at Google only? I tried but it didn't give me the option. I did see that you could download but I don't know how safe that is, being that I just downloaded a virus last week that took out my firewall. Now I'm weary to even be online. But holy cow, totally impressed with all of these new findings.
