ThinkFree -an online office service or we can call them a good competitor of the best online office which is Zoho, although Thinkfree has this Best Online Office On Earth as their tagline. Nothing against ThinkFree but Zoho is way superior than other services. Thinkfree is also a solid competitor and offers a good online office solution.
In the recent news thinkfree has released a plugin for Wordpress, where they are allowing users to view the office documents with ease over at wordpress blogs and that too without worrying about any requirement of a plugin or any special software. Check out the demo of the plugin over @ wpstar.
Apart from that, thinkfree has also released a web service called thinkfree docs, which is a social place, where you can display your documents and you can get feedback, comments and read other documents and any document which will be used by the wordpress plugin will be displayed over @ thinkfree docs. ThinkFree has also released the API for web developers, so that they can make use of this thinkfree viewer and integrate this service in various web applications.
I’m not sure that what different they’ve done because Zoho had this service from long time for all of its services, where they allowed users to blog the documents and they can be viewed quite easily over the web and again without any plugin or software. I think that they’ve just tried to catch up with Zoho. Anyway, none the less the service will be certainly of great use for those, who are comfortable and who use Thinkfree for online office tasks and will create competition in this field and which is always good for the consumers :).
