Zoho Notebook Takes Aim At Microsoft OneNote
AdventNet is certainly bent on giving Google a run for its money. Its Zoho line of online apps—which includes a word processor (Zoho Writer), spreadsheet (Zoho Sheet), wiki (Zoho Wiki), and presentation package (Zoho Show)—is one of the few free office suites that has the potential to give apps such as Google Docs & Spreadsheets any competition. The latest addition, Zoho Notebook, a collaboration and note-taking tool, could go beyond Google and challenge Microsoft’s OneNote.
Zoho Notebook is described online as letting you “create, aggregate, and collaborate on multiple types of content online.” The idea is to give users one place to assemble a variety of information: text, line drawings, images, Web pages, video, RSS feeds, and other media. It’s Microsoft OneNote on an Ajax diet.
Notebook has a lot of potential for people who like working online and especially those who want to share. You could, for example, create an online notebook that contains a spreadsheet with your project budget, the text of your latest report, an image of your sample product with some flaws circled, and a video of your engineer explaining what went wrong.
