@marbles You can already do that. Notebooks that are shared with the world have their own RSS feeds.

It would be great to have an RSS feed of a shared notebook so that people know when it has been updated.

Any news on sharing phase 2? I have recommended Evernote to literally dozens of people and would dearly love to pay for usage. But right now its just a handy syncing notepad. To rival our LAN file server and/or google docs, the sharing must be on the native clients. THEN you have a business app. It will be truly awesome. I can get all my research staff to use one account to collaborate on a notebook. As someone said earlier. The web version is just a gimmick. Come on guys. Its been ages since phase 1

It would be great if shared notebooks could be in with my others so friends and I can all clip to the same notebook…

It is not so optimal that, when sharing notebooks with non-premium members, these do not show up in the same list as those that these non-premium members have themselves.

I am a student and appreciate being able to do shared notebooks. However, the true value of this feature is greatly diminished because other users can’t modify the notebook from their desktop Evernote application. This is a serious drawback, and I would LOVE to see Evernote develop this asap!

In order for sharing to be really useful to me I need to be able to comment on the notes in my notebook and haves others respond to my comments or post their own–meaning there would be text post associated with a note, and then a thread.

I second, only useful, if integrated into the native clients including the mobile clients, until then just a gimmick.
Content of these shared notebooks should be handled similar to content of your own notebooks, aka you should be able to drag & drop notes from shared notebooks to your own notebooks and vice versa.

Would be great to get an update re Phase 2… ?

Awesome addition to Evernote! I’ve been searching through the comments looking for an answer of when the sharing will hit the desktop version of Evernote? Anyone heard anything yet?

Will there be some way to view materials from shared notebooks on the mobile apps? This would be extremely useful for some educational applications I am working on for Evernote.

I love Evernote and want to introduce it to my colleagues too as a groupware tool.

But I cannot do that until the shared notebooks also works in both the Mac and Windows desktop clients, so please hurry up with this.

Until then we are stuck with Google Documents.

P.S. An irrelevant question: it usually takes about two days for my posts to be moderated. By that time, they may be irrelevant to the discussion, or at least out of context. As I am logged in when posting, is moderation really necessary?

I’d like to use this with my team at work. It’s great that I can share a notebook with just my team but a bummer that they can only access it from the web interface. Will you add the ability to access a shared notebook from the Win/Mac apps?

You really need to add this type of features into the Downloadable Client… That would be an awesome Feature Upgrade.

Certainly a good idea. Too bad that the size of the window in which a note displays in the shared notebook is so small that it is really inconvenient to try to view a note, especially if it has an y graphics that are more than 1/4 of the height of ones browser window. Why waste so much space above the display window on menu item boxes, or why not at least provide an option to expand a note to full screen? As it is now, it’s only useful for displaying text notes where scrolling a small window is all right.

I very much appreciate the development in shared notebooks. I have been using the existing features for quite some time and the new functionalities are a welcome addition. A couple of suggestions:

(1) When mailing a note from a public notebook (from the web at least) it would be great to automatically include a direct link to that note. This would act as a ‘teaser’ for the receiver to take a look at the whole notebook –and Evernote. And, by the way, as a premium account I would appreciate not having “From Evernote” in the subject.

(2) Providing editing rights to third parties makes it all the more important to be able to keep copies of the original notes, say, in a non-shared notebook. As unbelievable as this may sound, it is as yet not possible to make copies of notes (without copying and re-entering the content anew!)

are there any heavy evernote users in the St. Louis area. I am just getting started and really want someone to show me how it can be used in a solid way.

Hi all. I am not sure whether your upgrade is going in the right direction. Please correct me if i am mistaken. What I and I imagine lots of others what is to be able to essentially keep only one notebook or if you like, one account, say for a company and then as the business owner you have admin rights but all the staff have different access rights – the administrator would tick the notebooks they have access too. Hopefully later down to tag or even note level.

In this way you will have surplanted Windows Server (Active Directory) Folder Sharing and with versioning to come, you will have an incredible Wiki smasher.

I’m not sure what your current update can do in this regard and whether you are going down a wrong road.

Anyway – I’m sure you have your own reasons for doing what you have dione – perhaps this ap is not trying to be a business tool but go after the social networking apps.
