&lt;p /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A popular online word processing application integrated with all the Google frills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;18.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zoho.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;Zoho Writer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With Zoho Writer you can view, edit and save documents online. Import and export a number of formats and even publish or share your files online with others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;19.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thinkfree.com/common/main.tfo&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;ThinkFree&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This web-based application&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;gives you a 1GB of space, full editing features, and viewing&lt;br /&gt;
  options.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;20.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.glidedigital.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;Glide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An online OS space that also includes useful tools, storage space and creation apps, such as Glide Write.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;21.&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ulteo.com/home/en/home?autolang=en&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;Ulteo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ulteo is bringing OpenOffice.org to the web. It&#039;s still in early beta release as of this writing, but check out the site and keep an eye out for it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;22.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goffice.com/goffice6.aspx&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;gOffice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A word processing application that will cost you a bit per month, but the high quality output is worth it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;23.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docly.com/docly/default.asp&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;Docly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What sticks out about Docly is that it&#039;s a word processing app and a self-publishing service in one. Create your documents online, copyright and publish them, then share them or sell them to others. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;24.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://us.ajax13.com/en/ajaxwrite/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;AjaxWrite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This web app works exclusively within Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or higher.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;25.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.peepel.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;WebWriter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like most of the online suites here, Peepel takes a collaborative online approach, but also uses RSS Feeds with its word processing app WebWriter to keep you on track with the changes made to your documents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;26.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.inetword.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;iNetWord&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Contains numerous designer Web page templates, the ability to publish to Web, and collaborative features that include folder sharing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;27.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://home.zcubes.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;ZCubes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Outfitting your computer with the latest software can be expensive. Time and money aren’t things to be wasted. With sky rocketing prices for desktop applications, you need to arm yourself with the right alternatives. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, there is a great alternative out there: the Internet. As hard as it is to believe, just by surfing around online, you can access most of the desktop app functionalities you need without shelling out a cent. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who says saving money is hard? Just by looking at the desktop applications you can do away with, you can save a bundle. Most desktop applications can range anywhere from $100 to $1, 000. Compare that to the price of using online applications: $ 0.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So the next time you think of buying another desktop app, think twice—think “online”. Because the more you ditch the desktop, the more you save! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

    If anything, Adobe’s latest move in the desktop to web app trend has us thinking of what  desktop applications aren’t online. And likewise it has us asking ourselves, which desktop applications should be online applications? The most versatile? The most expensive? Perhaps one that serves all your entertainment fixes and work needs? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While support for certain features  and the speed of sending and receiving files pose  a problem in shifting completely from desktop to online applications, there are desktop applications everybody is itching to have online--without the trappings of a desktop product. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So to get ahead of the digital trends of the times,  we’ve compiled a list of 11 desktop applications that should be online applications.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/&quot;  title=&quot;Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1&quot;&gt;Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;-- This is one desktop application that does everything you&#039;ll ever need to do when it comes to the PDF. In addition to being a versatile PDF creation application, its latest document sharing and collaboration features make it an ideal choice for accessing and working with PDFs online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;2.&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apple.com/iwork/&quot;  title=&quot;iWork &#039;08&quot;&gt; iWork &#039;08&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;--While there are web based creation applications already online, you sometimes need the productivity suite that you&#039;re used to using—unlimited in function.  iWork  ’08’s interface, export features, layout templates, access to media, and graphic tools make this suite  a good online addition not only for Mac users, but online users as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investintech.com/prod_a2e_pro.htm&quot;  title=&quot;Able2Extract Professional 5.0&quot;&gt;Able2Extract Professional 5.0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;-- With the growing amount of PDF content on the web, getting full desktop converters online, such as Able2Extract Pro 5.0, is now a must. Its advanced conversion features to document and image formats along with its  simple GUI would make this desktop app a powerful easy-to-use online converter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apple.com/itunes/&quot;  title=&quot;iTunes 7.5&quot;&gt;iTunes 7.5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;—A media application  that organizes and plays all your MP3s, movies and files. Although the amount of data is a
