This is a first for Gizbuzz: we have a podcast. However, the real news is the content. As regular readers will know one of the big areas that Gizbuzz covers is Web 2.0, and one of the most exciting Web 2.0 companies around at the moment is Zoho, who are currently in the process of building an online productivity suite, rivalling that being built by Google and ultimately Microsoft Office.
Peter and I did an interview with the Chief Architect of Zoho, Raju Vegesna, who was kind enough to talk to us for about 45 minutes on the subject of Rich Web Applications, why we want them and where they will go in the future.

If you still need some convincing, some of the things we covered were:
- Who would want to use Rich Web Applications, and how they are being used at the moment .
- How Zoho will gain users’ trust (remember, with rich web applications the application provider holds the data, not you. See Scoble)
- Nuts and bolts of how rich web apps will be developed in the future - is Ajax enough or will XUL or Flash be leveraged? Is a totally new standard needed?
- The future of web applications. Will we be using them instead of a desktop suite in five years time? Will they have spread outside the ‘geek world’?
- The upcoming launch of Zoho Drive in the next few weeks, a product which certainly sounds extremely disruptive and very exciting. Listen for an explanation!
