Raju from Zoho flicked me an email which was embargoed until right now (assuming I’ve got my time zones right – otherwise this is either a scoop or old news 
) to tell me that they’ve just gone over the one million user number. That’s a million users in less than three years with a nicely steepening demand curve.
Zoho isn’t yet releasing details of what, in my opinion, is the acid measure – how many paid users they have. It’ll be interesting to see those figures when they come out.
For those who will be attending the Office 2.0 conference in San Francisco in the first week of September, Zoho will be holding a party to celebrate the milestone (and some further announcements to be made closer to the time) – more details on that soon!
Here’s the Zoho apps user numbers graph displaying the beginnings of the often lauded hockey-stick curve!
