Zoho.com (Zoho Sheet, Zoho Writer, etc)

Today I'm working in www.zoho.com. The things I noticed are as follows:

1) You can send the file to anyone by "sharing." They will get a link that they can click on and see the document. However, (unless they are a Zoho user), they cannot save the document unless they export it to an Excel, PDF, HTML, etc.
2) When working in Zoho Sheet, you can "Export" your file to an Excel, PDF, or HTML.
3) There are risks to "Publishing" your file. This is because you have to set the access to "Public" where anyone can view the spreadsheet and it may get "crawled" by search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc.
4) Overall, this tools is neat but it doesn't seem practical. It's just easier to create something in Excel and email it. Everyone has Excel, Word, etc. - it's a requirement to function in today's society.
