August 4, 2010 | By Raju Vegesna

Zoho Chat is one Zoho app that is integrated across all our applications. With its integrated chat bus, Zoho Chat enables instant messaging across all our apps. Starting today, Zoho Chat will support Jabber protocol. This means, if you have a Jabber client, you can login with your Zoho credentials to chat with your colleagues. This obviously works with multitude of Jabber clients including desktop, web and mobile clients.

In our 2.0 release, we supported Jabber on the client side allowing you to connect to other Jabber networks from Zoho Chat client.

July 1, 2010 | By Arvind

Zoho participated at the recently concluded ‘World Classical Tamil Conference‘ that happened from June 23-27 in the southern city of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. To coincide with the conference, we released the UI of four of our services – Zoho Mail, Zoho Writer, Zoho Sheet and Zoho Chat – in Tamil. A slide show of the Zoho services’ screens in Tamil below.

You can choose Tamil as your language by clicking on the ‘Edit’ button in this page here – https://accounts.zoho.com/u/h#profile/personal. And you’ll have to set the language preference of your browser to Tamil (in Firefox, Tools -> Options -> Content -> Languages).

Zoho services are available in multiple languages already and we are continuously working on having the UI in more languages.

December 4, 2009 | By Raju Vegesna

Zoho
Meeting is our Web Conferencing solution which lets you host meetings
and remote support sessions. This is another app that we use extensively
internally as well. While you can host a meeting from http://meeting.zoho.com,
the application is integrated contextually with other Zoho Apps to
quickly start a meeting from other app. Lets us look at some of the
integrations.

Zoho Meeting in Zoho CRM

If you maintain all you contacts in Zoho CRM and would like to start a
meeting with your contact, Zoho Meeting is contextually integrated in
CRM. When you view a contact in Zoho CRM, you’ll notice a ‘Meet Now’
button on the right. Clicking on this will start a Meeting session with
that user. It’ll automatically send out a Meeting invite to that user.…

Zoho's Notification Feeds

August 6, 2009 | By Arvind

The chat bar you see at the bottom of applications like Zoho Mail, Zoho Business, Zoho Docs does a lot of useful things. Most of them has got to do with your presence status and the bar helps you in chatting live with your contacts who are online. But there’s one other important feature – notifications. The little bell icon adds a number to itself whenever there is a new notification.

You get notified for a good many work instances.

1. When you are offline and someone sends you a chat message
2. When someone shares a Zoho document, spreadsheet or presentation.
3. When you upload a file to Zoho Docs
4. When you make a post in a Zoho Discussions forum and someone responds to it. You get notified when you watch someone or a forum too.…

Integration between Zoho & External Apps: Part I

July 14, 2009 | By Raju Vegesna

As you may know, we have been focusing a lot on integration between Zoho applications. For a end user, it is important that Zoho
applications fit well into his workflow and integrate well with third party applications/services as well. Apart from integrating Zoho
applications, we have also integrated Zoho with many third-party
applications. Infact, we have too many such integrations. So I’ll split
this into multiple posts and expand on some of our integrations with non-zoho applications

Integration with Google/Yahoo

Let
us start with login. We don’t mandate you create an account with Zoho
to try our apps. If you are reading this, you probably have a Yahoo
or a Google account, right? So we figured, we’ll just let you login to Zoho with you existing accounts.
