I chose the book publishing site Lulu. I really love writing poetry and short stories and have always wanted to publish my own work without having to work with editors and publishers telling me what I can and cannot do. So the easiest solution to that problem would be to publish a books my self.
Well by taking advantage of the services LULU provides I can now publish and print my own works without the hassle of deadlines and editing. I can choose my own price and sell my hardback or paperback on the site itself or even get it distributed in retail stores with it's own ISBN, or bar code. This means I can track sales of my book right from home without ever having to leave the computer.
The site offers inexpensive printing of almost any type of book you can imagine, from manuals to comics. I can print a lengthy novel in trade paperback or a hefty biography or memoir in a classy richly bound hardback. This is extremely exciting to me. There is nothing more gratifying for an artist than to have a completed piece of work in their hand ready to be given to the waiting world.
So I can work on my manuscript using Zoho Writer and then publish my work using Lulu! There is an endless supply of extremely applicable programs that you can download and begin using right away. This Web 2.0 experience has given me a lot of ideas about what I can do with whats available for free on the internet.
