Zoho shoots for world (or at least small business) domination

Zoho People gives you tools for creating custom forms, creating and managing company departments, recruiting employees, creating checklists, and allowing employees to enter their own data.

Zoho Office was beating the pants off of Google Docs last time I checked (Zoho Creator database app, for example). However I find myself using Google Docs (used it when it was Writely, by the way) because of the speed, readability, and Google universal sign-on (I am a Gmail and Google Reader user).
