Latest News: OneNote 2007 and Word 2007 Supports Blogging
As mentioned by Chris Prately, OneNote 2007 Beta 2 will support blogging via Word. Beta 2 will support MSN Spaces, Blogger, Sharepoint, Communitry Server, and other blogging services. So far, you can edit, publish, and categorize posts. No word on tagging or technorati support.
Personally, I am very excited about this new feature. Blogging was my biggest gripe against OneNote. OneNote 2003 is a great tool to for collecting information, organize ideas, and write drafts. All bloggers go through these step and finally use a blogging tool to publish. Now, I can do everything in OneNote!
There is some sad new thought, Matt from Windows With Ink had been working on a blogging powertoy for OneNote. Because of the latest news, he won’t release it anymore. It was very sad to know that before he began his hard work, he contacted the Microsoft guys and they never told him about the planned feature. I don’t blame the Microsoft guys because they were under confidentiality agreements. (Update: Matt wrote back and said he might finish the powertoy. I encourage all reader to post on his blog and ask him to finish it.)
For all the information about the new feature, please read Chris Prately’s blog and Joe Friend’s blog.
Once I get my hands on Beta 2, I will write all about the new tool and post screenshots and screencasts of it (assuming I can under the non-disclosure aggrement). In the meantime, here are the screenshots from Joe Friend’s blog.
