2006 Best online Word Processor

"Zoho [Writer] packs most of the functions along the top of the document pane, with familiar graphical icons, such as a disk that you click to save a file. We like the bottom icons that display the document’s tags and sharing status. You can also keep multiple Zoho files open at the same time, which ThinkFree doesn’t allow. By default, Zoho Writer organizes your open documents within tabs."

Media Monkey 2.5.4

We’re going to climb out on a limb a
bit and spotlight the MediaMonkey. As
our digital music collections grow, we
want this software on our machines.
MediaMonkey is better than anything
we’ve used for browsing, mass tagging,
converting, and playing large libraries.
From the way it lets us search and tag files
to the way it segregates incomplete tags
and dupes for editing, this program
knows how music nuts work with their
collections. The Monkey’s interface is a
bit scruffy (for example, the player window
and some type can be exceedingly
small), but for burning, tagging, and
shuffling thousands of tracks and albums,
this primate swings.
