You know, on CSI they could just “enhance” the image a zillion times and see a clear picture of its content. Alas!
One of the features I love about this thing we're launching soon is how many other Zoho services it incorporates into one cool package of unrestrained productivity. And... no, it's not just a pricing bundle where we give you a number of disparate thing for one set price.
It goes beyond that. Anyway, I was just counting how many other Zoho services it integrates under one roof - no less than 5! It's actually more than that, but I won't go into details.
You might remember last week we announced the ground-breaking Zoho Office for SharePoint - which lets users store their documents in SharePoint while editing and collaborating on them with Zoho. A lot of customers, media and bloggers liked that idea. Well, this thing (that we're releasing before you leave for your 4th of July weekend) also integrates with another popular Microsoft product.
As an added bonus, here's what a screenshot of this new thing looks like:
Yeah, of course it's broken into big, 38-pixel mossaics so as to not give it away so easily. Gotta love that Photoshop.
But, if you squint your eyes and look at it for 5 minutes without blinking, the whole thing will appear in 3-D before your eyes - like those posters that were popular in the 80s (90s?). Oh, who a I kidding? I was never able to see one of those autostereograms - to this day I still think they are a cruel joke.
But I digressed. You might think that screenshot doesn't give out any info. Well, it does! Some of the things that people were guessing are not supported by this screenshot. Also... read carefully!

And the suspense keeps building . . . . :-)
rodrigo - if i ever see you on the street, you are getting a noogie
Is it Tetris for Zoho?
Rodrigo: Is this a new form of make marketing? Is it the best way to catch our attention? I spent a few moments looking at the picture. If this is a joke, it is a bad one. If not, sorry for these words.
[..] that they are launching a new product this week. They didn’t provide any details except a mad libs comment. Today they posted a bit more about theupcoming launch. [..]
Can you give us "OneNote" on what "Project" it is ?! (I mean it is either "OneNote / Project", both of which have better scope for embedding/integrating other services)
Allen - Wow, first time someone has ever threatened 'physical violence' because of my posts :) ... and I'm not even a journalist doing an expose of some powerful dictator. I now consider myself part of an elite! Rodrigo
Hugo - Not at all! There's a real announcement behind this. And when you see the screenshots, that picture that I posted will make sense :) Rodrigo
İntegration Zoho Creator with other Zoho products or new zoho creator version. OR OR OR only JOKE
Looks a bit like Gmail. So, what about this: Zoho convinced Google that Gmail doesn’t rock and bought Gmail for $100 (plus tax lol). Within 2 hours, the Zoho team was able to create folders and removed the silly beta tag. Not it’s zMail. zMail will be a mix of Instant Messaging, eMail and it integrates a high tech web server (like the one of Opera LOL couldn’t resist LOL) that allows you to access: THE INTERNET FROM YOUR WEB BROWSER. Close... ? :D
Ah-ha! Windows Live --> Zoho Live It's a desktop application with on/off line support.
Hi Rodrigo, You did not comment on the post from R Rajkumar. Did you carefully side step it? So it is one of "one Note" - or Zoho Notebook or Project - is it?? Somehow I think it is an attempt at facebook... there are too many colors on that mosaic - tempting me to think photos... Or... coming to think of it.. have you given more life to wiki and made it a proper web site builder? Cant think of something like flikr though - why would zoho build one?
Jayanth - Well, we haven't been commenting on guesses... but most of them are real good, and if they haven't hit the nail on the head, at least they have given us some good ideas about what people want :) I just thought it was important to let the world know that we're not releasing Zoho-branded hamburgers nor a client-side server :) Rodrigo
I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but I wonder if this keen new thing is timed to coincide somewhat with the launch of Firefox 3.5, which is out now. I've been using the beta versions for a while, but haven't gone for the final version yet. Google Gears did not work in FF 3.5, which meant offline use of Zoho was not possible. Although Google claims a compatible version of Gears is coming soon. Although, if the launch of Zoho's new product is around lunchtime, I'm still willing to place my bets on cheeseburgers. If it isn't, I may go have a cheeseburger anyway in celebration :)
Zoho Cloud ? Zoho Desktop ? Zoho Start Page ? (similar to iGoogle, Netvibes) Zoho Black/White board ? Zoho add-on for browser(s) (Toolbar) ? Zoho plug-in for MS-Office ? Zoho plug-in for VB, .Net ...? Sivakumar.
I'm starting to think it looks like a MS Office Sharepoint Server (MOSS) page. So this would be an extension of the recently announced Windows SharePoint Services offering by Zoho. So it's Zoho Reports, Mail, Sheet, Show, Writer and maybe a few more. That would be too bad, since MOSS is soooo not Web 2. In fact, I now call it SharePunt due to my general dissatisfaction. I was really hoping for a toolbar or desktop offering :(
