As we've previously reported in this article, Zoho's online suite of applications is a very nice addition for small businesses like ours that are looking for cost effective and time efficient tools to help with their day to day operations.

We're always out on the web, checking out what's new and not just so we can report on it. I personally I'm always on the lookout for great online business tools that I can incorporate into my daily routine. Too often I find myself in a position where I feel that the processes I'm using could be refined, or that a more efficient tool could help bridge the information gap with a client who's office I'm not working from.

Thanks to the great people at mashable.com, I read about a great suite of online business tools and a host of other very intuitive web based applications all under the parent name of "zoho". Zoho has applications such as "Zoho Projects" which I setup today, in order to organize my projects more efficiently. The great thing about Zoho Projects is that it really offers all the features one could ask for in a tool like that. I can create time sheets based on the work I'm performing, add tasks, custom task lists, and these task lists can be saved as templates to be used in other projects, saving a lot of time in terms of the setup and mainteance of the various projects you've got added.

Many Musicians under estimate the power of podcasts. I'm guilty of under estimating the power of this automated process for a long time, until I realized: "Wait a minute, once subscribed all users have to do is open iTunes and if I added a new mix, then they will automatically get an update about it - neat."
