Now this was an interesting tidbit of news I saw in my Reader this morning, seems Raju and the guys have been busy and have not only a new partnership but also a new product.
Zoho Notebook (not available yet for testing, wonder what they will be announcing at DEMO then?) and it seems it will take advantage of the new partnership with Flixn. I like Flixn, in fact they are even on my wish list of “cool mashup” ideas!
But in all honesty how in the world do you now choose? You have Planner, Wiki and now Notebook all for the same purpose really?! I mean they are announcing Zoho Notebook as
Create, Aggregate and Collaborate on multiple types of content online.
And the Wiki is
Wiki that is as easy to use as a word processor
with group concept, versions, sub-pages and more …
And Planner is
Online organizer to maintain your todo’s, reminders, notes, attachments etc.
The descriptions may differ but the all do somewhat the same function and in the long run now I have more applications and more ways of collaborating, collaboration is good but simplicity is also something that I hold great value you in. Now if they tell me I can seamlessly integrate my docs, sheets, polls, Wiki pages, planner pages, etc. all together (which does not work as Planner needs a HTML area update to integrate docs and sheets first) then OK but right now I’m sitting here going “great another one” but I’m not seeing the overall point, or is the Notebook the end all be all? Is this the one tool I’ve been waiting for that really does integrate all the other items together for me?
Can’t wait to get in and give it a go… maybe they’ll give me a sneak peek user so I can play a little.
