Zoho NoteBook … A decent OneNote competitor?

Zoho just announced Zoho NoteBook and posted a video on YouTube. According to TechCrunch it won’t be available until March.

From what I can see, it’s awesome… Finally a real competitor to OneNote! It has many of the same core features, plus some new ones.

The key items I want to check out first…

  • FireFox “Send To” plugin. (Official, not a user created PowerToy so hopefully more options for pages/notebooks)
  • Embedded Files. (Rajuv mentions Zoho files and audio/video. Hopefully more are supported.)
  • Drawing Tools (Looks like you can add labels, plus easy to move around.)
  • Section Sharing (Share just a box on the page)
  • Real-Time Collaboration.
  • Note shown in the video, but of extreme interest to me are… Block Formatting (Borders and/or stationary-like design elements), Save As and Publish features, Send To and Blog This features, Tags, and Search.

    I would like to evaluate
  • today there are many netbook type and also many competitors of acer one note :)
  • I had just finished checking out Microsoft OneNote 2007, getting into Notebook was intriguing. But the one notebook I setup to test just disappeared. Couldn't share the notebook with others. BUT MS OneNote requires me to utilize POP3, IMAP, etc. to configure sharing with others and to send them email to come join the party. Doing a configuration is not my cup of stuff. Zoho is much more appealing as a web-based application. They got it with their other applications so I am confident they will work the bugs out.
  • I'm glad I did. I don't know if Zoho changed it after the last time I looked at it. But, it sure looks and works more like OneNote now. Enough so that I felt fairly comfortable using it and was able to collect a bunch of notes while munching on my lunch at the same time.
