As we begin to open up our "Early Access" program this week,  we will be highlighting various NoteShare features and applications of interest.  Sharing takes on a whole new meaning when it becomes much easier, more convenient and virtually transparent.  As with any software product, the technology itself may not be new but the context of using personal notebooks in different collaborative settings is most definitely new.  NoteShare opens up new ways to share information because it can operate in multiple modes that best supports the pervasive nature of personal computing today.  This means we can use NoteShare in the same room with another user or we can be in different locations to coordinate, communicate and collaborate with each other.

When we say share your notebooks everywhere, we truly mean this whenever connectivity is possible between two or more NoteShare users.  In the NoteShare model, you can both share and view notebooks from your computer.  And what notebook sharing enables is an opportunity to enhance our own productivity as well as the productivity of those we work with.  It bears repeating again that NoteShare is not a replacement for other tools like e-mail or blogs/wikis but a new tool for augmenting how we use and share our knowledge.

Shared knowledge can be as simple as an outline of instructions or it can be as complex as a researcher's lab notebook but in each of these cases, NoteShare merely reflects the information in a notebook without limiting its scope or use.  And this brings us back to an essential point about sharing notebooks, that it provides an opportunity for collaboration without limiting the potential to integrate with other tools and information sources.  Sharing made simple is the best of all social computing worlds.  Share your notebooks anytime, anywhere.
