DISQUS

so sam, tell me, do you really think this can replace gmail, google sites, google docs, basecamp, campfire, etc. etc.? it certainly has the app checklist covered.

unlimited space? sounds like a disaster in the making.

I don't know if I can trust all that to a relative unknown like zoho.

Yep, I have the same "fears" and that is why I've pretty much stuck with
Google over the last few months.

However, Zoho does have a foothold in the enterprise space, a nice business
model and the ability to innovate because of their flexibility and seeming
cash-flow.

Last year at this time, I honestly thought Zoho was going to be acquired by
Microsoft. It doesn't seem like that is going to be the case, so the
question becomes can they be solvent on their own. I think they can (and
Google competition is always good), but I still am hesitant to make the full
switch without some reassurances about the 5 year plan.

But still... check out Zoho Mail. You of all people would like.

why because "reply to all" is the default? ;)

I am checking it out.

oh, and Zoho Writer does footnotes and endnotes... doesn't sound like that
big of a deal, but for academics, it's a HUGE disservice to Google Docs that
there aren't footnotes!!

You've outlined the benefits and concerns with "cloud computing" well. My enthusiasm for the flexiblity is offset by the doubts about security and reliability you mention.

I'll check it out and let you know what I think...
