[Zoho Notebook][1], first announced at DEMO 07 back in January has been in a private beta trial phase for the last few months. + +Zoho touts Notebook as a way for users to create, aggregate, and collaborate on content from other Zoho services as well as outside web content. + +As you might expect Zoho notebook uses a notebook metaphor for its interface design, allowing top level "notebooks" to contain "pages," which can be anything from Zoho documents to embedded web videos. For a more in-depth look at the notebook see the new video from Zoho embedded after the jump. + +The closest competitor for Zoho Notebook is undoubtedly Google Notebook, however, Zoho's features are considerably more impressive. + +Whereas Google Notebook is essentially a scrapbook for interesting tidbits you find around the web, Zoho Notebook is much closer to a full-blown desktop snippet-keeper application. + +As you can see in the video below, the application is laid out in a two-pane workspace. The left-hand side contains all the buttons for creating and modifying notebooks, pages, and elements. The content itself is in the right-hand pane. + +Along the top of the workspace are tabs to switch between notebooks. A small toolbar at the bottom contains some simple drawing tools like text boxes, lines, shapes and comment bubbles for creating your own content from scratch. + +Notebook also features browser plugins for Firefox and Internet Explorer which you can use to quickly cut and paste web content into a notebook. + +Zoho Notebook is an impressive offering and now that it's out of the beta phase I expect a number of curious users may defect from Google. Either way, scrapbook and snippet lovers have yet another online tool at their disposal. + +<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sfJFBcF_6cE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sfJFBcF_6cE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> + +[1]: http://notebook.zoho.com/nb/login.jsp "Google Notebook"
