Introduction
World In A Browser
ast month, the focus of our
Fast Track to The Web
was the PC—
how to get it connected to the Internet, and all the essential
software you need for your online activities—browsing the
Web, chatting with friends and so on. This month, we explore all
that you can do online—you’d be surprised at what you can
accomplish with just a browser!
No doubt you’ve heard of—if not actually used—the many online
office suites that claim to threaten Microsoft Office’s position in
the office application category. Google recently added Presentation
to its offering, completing the Holy Trinity of documents,
spreadsheets and presentations. Zoho’s been around for a while,
and new features are added every day. Not as prominent is
ThinkFree, which impressed us nonetheless. In the first chapter,
you’ll get what you need to start using these applications.
Once you’re done with business, you can indulge in a pleasure
that so many people are—blogging. Blogging engines give you a
platform to create a spiffy new blog in minutes, and if you still
can’t come to terms with them, Chapter 2 will reveal All. We’ve
also looked at the new “microblogging” engines, that don’t
demand as much of your time—just a short quip about what you’re
up to, and that’s it!
There’s been a lot of talk of an online version of Adobe
Photoshop lately, but while we wait for that, other players have
started offering us easy-to-use, free, online image editors that’ll
even send your photos to services like Flickr or Picasa when you’re
done editing them!
That done, you can participate in the activity that’s hogging the
majority of the world’s collective bandwidth—file sharing! Whether
it’s BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella or Direct Connect—if it’s
controversial activity you hanker for, this is your primer.
And finally, from the deep, dark trenches of the Web, we’ve dug
out services and Web sites that’ll give you software advice, reviews,
and even a friendly hand when things go wrong.
So get that browser window open now!
