Whatever kind of writing you do, as a wordsmith you appreciate tools that help you turn your thoughts into well-written sentences and paragraphs, which become quality articles, blog posts, reviews, and more. When these tools are found online, they are easy to access and use, seamlessly integrated into the process. Here are ten tools that will contribute to more potent and effective writing. Their time-saving benefits should not be overlooked, either.
1. Zoho Writer: This comprehensive word processing tool can handle everything your desktop whiteboard can do, and holds its own with Google Docs. Features include complete WYSIWYG editor that is great for composing blog posts, good synchronization of work done offline once you return online, excellent collaboration capacity, page view editing, and more.
2. ThinkFree Online: The write application on this helpful tool is quick and inclusive. If you are looking for a new look or style to your online processor, give this one a try. It’s got what it takes to be your go-to writing assistant, and plays well in collaborative efforts.
3. Writeboard: One more white board alternative worth considering is this totally free offering from 37 Signals, makers of many useful web 2.0 apps. Works well with Firefox, IE, Safari, and other – but not all –browsers. Not as thorough as the first two, it does excel at versioning, so if you’re a writer that does a lot of rewriting, or if other collaborators edit group documents, the revision archive is very handy.
4. TypePad: This tool introduced by Six Apart may be the most highly functional, easy to use blogging service currently at your disposal. It delivers an advanced set of skills which include tracking statistics, text file uploads, and word banning. No ads appear on your TypePad blog unless you request them.
5. WordPress.org: Quickly becoming the top choice of bloggers everywhere, it seems, this full-orbed service allows total customization of your blog. Choose a domain name, place it on the server of your choice, and enjoy an immense number of plugins and other features that will increase the quality of every aspect of your blog.
6. WordPress.com: The perfect complement to the WordPress.org, this site hosts your blog and submits it to the Google blog directory, and delivers a complete range of blog services. It’s free and is a favorite among amateur bloggers and professionals as well.
7. SpringNote: This web 2.0 application is free from Wiki and easy to use and offers a nice package of features. The simple dashboard and organization is not simplistic – it allows for personal and shared use with equal ease. The iPhone app is nice for users who get some of their best thoughts when other access to SpringNote is unavailable.
8. Writers’ Network: The value here is the opportunity to read the works of others to gain ideas, inspiration, or take notes on how they effectively communicate. There are plenty of how-to resources and it provides the opportunity for writers to post their work and get helpful feedback. Being open to constructive critiquing by others is essential to improving writing skills.
9. Red Room: This social network for and about authors is a large mix of blogs, essays, videos and podcasts. It will keep any author in touch with what is hot and may proves a hotbed for fresh ideas, and we all know how important it is to keep a stream of those going.
10. Twitter: Do you know what Twitter will do for you? It will force you to say what you want to say as concisely as possible, and learning that skill will make anyone a better writer. For at least some of your tweets, try to express an original though in a complete sentence – and make it something that will produce value for all who read it.
While there are many components of successful writing today – like driving traffic to your site if you are a blogger – that have nothing to do with content, still, all things being equal, better writing will produce better success. Get acquainted with all of these tools, and made good use of the ones that best fit your style and goals. They will prove to be very productive as you learn to make the best use of them.
