I am familiar with MS Word2003/2007. When I start using Google Docs and ZOHO writer and Wiki program I found they have almost similar interface to create document, save and edit etc. MS Word 2003/2007 is very popular among people. When I use google docs and zoho writer I tried to compare with MS word. I found it helpful. I found that wiki programs and google docs has less features compare to zoho.So for my future document writing I will use MS Word 2003/2007 when working offline and Zoho writer when working online.

Comparision between facebook, ning, LinkedIn, pownce and friendfeed:
I have been using facebook for more than four years. I am pretty much familiar to this compare to other. Adding, removing, inviting friends, updating own profile are the common feature of this social networking programs. It has the simple and user-friendly interface. We can have collaboration through groups, events, personal message, chat, group message etc. We can observe the recent activities of the person in the friend list and can search friend in smart way. In ning (http://www.ning.com/) we can create create a social network and invite people to join or one can join to the social network with someone’s invitation to join to the network. We can create a group in the network and share the information within group. Currently we are using a group network called infotechtools created by our lecturer.We can post our discussion message in the whole network or in the group. I think this one is better for sharing information with friends.Linkedln is somewhat similar to facebook. Here we can import the contacts from our different email address list such as hotmail, yahoo, gmail, AOL to add them in our network. This social network is business oriented. This is very useful for employers and job seekers etc. Pownce is also one of the free social networking and micro blogging site. Here you can easily post message to the whole group or to individual people. We can import contacts from different networks and email address books such as facebook, digg, gmail, hotmail, aol. Other thing I like about it is we can post our other profile through our URLFriendfeed allows us to use multiple social network. We can add a number of services such as RSS, facebook, googletalk, Pownce, twitter, you tube, account profiles to this network.We can post a message to the people in our subscription list and read the message from them.
For my future purpose I will keep facebook as my social network because it is very user-friendly for me. Its is easy to I have created a big network of my friends and relatives on this. The other reason is the most of the people know facebook more than other social networking program. However for my professional networking I would like to use Linkedin because it is built in such a way that it looks professional and is designed for the same purpose also.

Your task is complete but some of the conclusions are weak. Microsoft Office 2003 cost lot of money if you are not getting a discount. It does not allow collaboration still you considered it as one of your choices because of familiarity. It is true that it is feature heavy but what feature did you miss when you write this report using ZOHO and Wiki?
====================
You chose facebook. It is easy to use and currently has the momentum. But what happens if you decide to move to better network in the future.
Facebook imports all the personal information allows no information that could be exported. So if you move you have to recreate the entire information again.
