Google Docs: Si -- Zoho: No

In Google Docs, I was able to put together a slide show incorporating video and text, with the 3 different covers of the song "Promised Land" (my blog name!), one by Bobby Weir and Kingfish 1989, another by the Dead at Venata in 1972, and a third by Chuck Berry (the real King!) himself, followed by a 4th slide that asked viewers/collaborators to respond by adding their favorite Rock'n'Roll song and a video to support it. It loooks pretty cool and Google Docs made it relatively easy to figure out how to create it.

Now Zoho... I tried to do basically the same thing (create a slide show with text and video) but the Hyperlink that was supposed to allow me to add video from YouTube wouldn't work, even though I attempted it with a number of different videos. After about 15 minutes trying to figure it out, I just gave up. But I think Google Docs would be a great tool for library workers to use when creating a collaborative slide show or other type of document.
