Zoho Planner and Google Notebook Announcements – And FF Beta2 RC1

Saw some good announcements that I thought I’d pass along:

1. My current life organizer, aka Zoho Planner, got some new features last night.
1. I really, really, like that it works with Opera now (and Safari for my 3 readers using that)!
2. Ok, so that’s neat, but the truly great new feature from this release is there’s now a bit more granular sharing. Previously, I could share Planner pages with other folks, but they’d get read and write access. Nice when you want folks to add/change stuff. Not so nice when you don’t. Well now we have Read-only sharing as well.
1. Speaking of sharing, Zoho also announced some big new sharing features for Zoho Sheet. I haven’t played with Zoho Sheet enough to offer any useful comments, but it looks interesting. Well, as interesting as any spreadsheet package can look… (and many years ago I was a full-time spreadsheet jockey).
3. Rounding out the major changes is the ability to collapse (and expand) task lists and notes. This is a nice way to tuck away notes and also helps get more on the page when there are multiple task lists.
2. Google Notebook got some love last night too. (new features list) The more interesting features here are the collaboration and the “trash and undo” features. This is one of the Google products that I really want to love, but I keep getting distracted by other things that seem to specialize a bit better.
3. Saw this one just as I was finishing this article: Firefox beta2 Release Candidate 1 is ready for download. I’ve been loving the previous beta, hopefully the RC will be just as pleasant to use.
   I’m curious to see if the theme got tweaked. (reference this older post)
