Zoho is now on Facebook - or is it?
Zoho just announced that they released their Zoho office suite as a Facebook Application. When I saw this, I installed it on Facebook to give it a test drive.

I don’t think that Zoho will be a big hit on Facebook - it’s not where people go to in order to type up documents and spreadsheets.
