Comments on: Zoho Notebook ate my homework

The new Zoho Notebook stores all sorts of files and Web feeds, but our early tests found some snags.

Notefish won't eat your homework, we promise.

Hi,
I am one of co-founders of Notefish (http://www.notefish.com/). It sounds like Zoho Notebook is a powerful tool, but for people looking for a quick and easy way to save web content, I recommend Notefish. We are not trying to be all things to all people; instead, we built a tool that really simplifies web research. Give Notefish a try and let us know what you think.

Cheers,
Eugene Mizin

Sorry for the opening day glitches ...

Thank you for the review. We had a couple of opening day glitches, and we are ironing them out. The service should be smooth in a day or two.

Thanks,
Sridhar Vembu

Your headline says it all.

Zoho contacted me 5/21/07 and set me up for a beta tryout of Notebook. As 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.

Zoho Notebook - Initial Impressiosn

I encountered similar issues during my first use of Zoho Notebook.
Content I had added would disappear, and highlighting web-based content and right-clicking did not always display the option to add the content to a Zoho Notebook.
I wrote up my first impressions on Google Notebook, OneNote and Zoho Notebook here:

I think that Zoho Notebook has the promise of being a good application, and I look forward to following its progress.
