Zoho Notebook News & Articles

Zoho, the hosted Microsoft Office-like web application SaaS provider has been busy rolling out new features and capabilities to their Zoho Notebook product. The updates come at a good time for the company. As announced last week, Google is shutting down their Google Notebook product, leaving an opportunity for an upstart like Zoho to pick up customers in Google's wake.

Zoho Notebook, the web-based tool for storing and sharing mixed content, has been chosen as one of the most innovative products of the year by PC World.

Released last January, Notebook is inspired by the traditional spiral notebook. It provides a web-based platform to assemble written content, drawings, multimedia, rich text and any other form of content you wish and share it with whoever you please. It can be used as a collaborative platform, an online reference source, or just a dumping site for your doodles and scraps.

You know the world has changed when the writing tools you lived by in grade school are referred to as “traditional.”

Inspired by the stodgy ol’ pen and paper notebook, AdventNet, Inc. adds Zoho Notebook to the Zoho suite of free offerings. It’s less now a notebook and more the blessed recipient of a Web 2.0 facelift with a fresh array of multi-media and online collaboration tools, and functionality fit for enterprises of today and grade schoolers of tomorrow.
