Google Docs:

This option is something different from the others, since it allows you to create, share, collaborate documents, spreadsheets and presentations and save it online. This interface is cleaner than any other interface since it allows you to save files online and can publish your document as a web page too.

No one can edit your document without your permission and you can invite the other collaborators to work with your document. This makes Google Docs more special.

Zoho:

Than any other above alternatives, Zoho offers 20 online applications including Writer for Word Processor. This is also an online typing option which allows you to type you documents online and save it there.
