New ThinkFree Office ... good stuff


I revisited an old favorite that has been upgraded and it is pretty amazing stuff ... I used the old ThinkFree online to collaborate on documents and to sometimes keep things workable when I thought I might be computerless ... the ThinkFree Office is a web based office suite that features a great set for business use ... word processing, spreadsheet and presentation ... enough to do meaningful work and not get bogged down ... well, I got an email telling me to see the new features and when I got there I was blown away ... take a look at this app as it is slick and very very useable ... even lets you store either on the web or on your drive while connected ... as I was browsing I looked at a couple of wow type features ... take a look at this screen shot of a document I created online and then stored on my hard drive ...

Notice that I have active links in the document ... this was done by opening up my del.icio.us links in the word processing program and inserting the hyperlinks directly into the doc ... this is a great and fast way to do all sorts of things as I use the bookmarks to save all sorts of web information ... great way to aggregate info into a single document ... then it also has an insert item from flickr ... this blows me away as while active, I can search for a photo and simply insert directly from the flickr search ... this opens up all sorts of scenarios ... take a look ... lots of neat features that are very slickly implemented ...

First of all, I used this as an office on the web, now with the neat new things that it can do, it opens up all sorts of creative avenues ... play and learn ....
