Talk:Zoho Office Suite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zoho requires a Firefox extension to host meetings. The line "no client software required" is a bit of an exaggeration.

[edit] Advertisement or Article?

First off I'd like to say I like Zoho. But I'm going to piggyback on Nathan's comment, and just say that in general this article reads like an advertisement. Statements like "Zoho is well known for its rapid expansion of products and services." are subjective opinion. In my opinion Zoho isn't even well known, let alone well known for anything specific like "rapid expansion of products and services". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Petec35 (talk • contribs) 18:02, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dates and years

Add some dates and years, please; I'd like to compare when these different SaaSes emerged --sigs —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.181.198.60 (talk) 11:03, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] speedy deletion

I do not think this article deserves speedy deletion, although it does need neutralizations in several spots --Ofol (t) 23:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


I just did a specific search on "zoho" because a friend asked me to find out more about it. I usually go to wikipedia first rather than google where I get advertised to death, and I was glad to find it. If the article is too much like advertising, radically reduce it, cutting out all the feature stuff. But don't get rid of the article. Tenbergen (talk) 14:33, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I think something was goofed up with the G11 nomination... I removed it and re-added with TWINKLE. It looks much better now. Specifically, the page is listed in the proper categories to get noticed and addressed by an administrator. -- Swerdnaneb 16:42, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Zoho Writer and Polling

We currently have the following in the Zoho Writer section of this article (modified to show the comment and markup):

Zoho Writer originally relied on polling every 8 seconds<!-- I'm not convinced that this is a reliable source -- it attributes the result to a link, but that link doesn't have the quoted text. <ref>Zdnet comments uses this wikipedia page as a source - admission from Zoho that actually its not real time is in Update 2 at bottom</ref> -->, but the latest version uses real time notification from Zoho Chat.

That ZDNet blog post links to an item at blogs.zoho.com/writer/, but the latter says nothing about polling. This is an example of why blogs are not Reliable Sources per se at Wikipedia.

While I can easily believe that Zoho Writer used to poll and now uses a Chat protocol instead, I feel that we would be better off to just not mention this issue in the article (ie., just delete the sentence "Zoho Writer originally relied ... notification from Zoho Chat".) What do other contributors think? Cheers, CWC 15:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
