VentureBeat: Zoho Notebook looks good

  • Mukesh · 2 years ago
    Hi

    I am impressed with the Zoho's suite of products and their functionality. However I am curious to know what is the next step for this company.
    Will it be able to compete with big players like Google, Microsoft etc. Considering that internet behemoths like Google, Microsoft are already working on competing products, whether they will be interested in buying it.

    I'm with Mukesh. This sounds neat but it also sounds like a bit of overkill. I don't need a very complex note taking app, so Google notes works just fine for me. Will take a look at them though and see if there's anything useful there.

    Gal: I think you miss the real potential of this application by calling it a "complex note-taking app". I've been working with the alpha for a couple of months and talking with the Zoho team and the potential to create dynamic shared spaces with a variety of information objects transcends anything else I've seen.

    The similarities to OneNote (or Circus Ponies Notebook on the Mac) are really skin-deep. With the ability to share at the object level and create interactivity using shared screens, data objects, real-time chat and telephony, and applications (like Writer and Sheet), this is a really in a class by itself.
