I have used Google Gears for viewing my Google Reader feeds offline, and I am very excited about Zoho moving towards using Google Gears with the rest of their applications.
“We are taking our first steps towards offering Zoho Writer offline. With this update, you’ll now be able to access all your documents offline (Mac or PC) in read-only mode. We will offer offline editing capabilities in the coming weeks.”- Zoho Blog

The ironic part of this story is how Zoho, a competitor/threat to the Google Documents service, is using Google open source technology to power their newest feature. I am pleased by Zoho’s recognition of Google’s efforts towards providing offline content. The question is now, how long till Google uses Google Gears with their Documents service?

Since the video is so tiny, you can view the screencast here.

A nice representation highlighting the wonderful aspects of using web documents. Zoho.com is certainly worth a try, as well as Google Documents.
