While in the offline world languages still separate us more than anything else, in the online world also this gap is closing slowly but surely. Google already introduced
translated search which let you conveniently search in a different language, but now you can even keep track of blogs you would not be able to understand in any other lifetime. But than you probably weren’t checking blogs in the first place…..

Unconfirmed reports are circulating that GE already chose Zoho, but Oliver Marks at ZDNET set the record straight today about the claims:”For the record…no decision has been made on Google Docs, Zoho, or any other vendor at this time, but a vigorous evaluation is taking place,” he writes.

So what is Zoho? Webguild says:

Zoho is a remarkable company. They have out maneuvered all the usual suspects such as Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce at their own games. Not too long ago, the company turned down a takeover offer from Salesforce. Zoho is an example of the new Web economics at work. The company hails from India, has never taken venture funding and has a ten person operation in Silicon Valley. Yet, if you look at its suite of products you would think it has a Fortune 500 company backing it. The company employees 600 engineers, developers, product managers, and technicians in India that develop and build its products.
