Confabb's NoteShare is being launched at PdF! Based on the popular TiddlyWiki open source tool, Confabb NoteShare contains a local copy of the agenda, as well as notes already shared by other people at the event. Write your own notes and share them with your fellow attendees. Everything is saved and synced automatically. Created by Osmosoft, recently acquired by British Telecom, the Confabb NoteShare tool sits on your desktop and runs in your browser. Write notes on your local copy and share them with your fellow attendees, knowing everything will be saved and automatically synced.

We are also holding a contest. Whoever takes the best notes at the end of the conference will win a brand new next generation iPhone when they come out next month. If you do not have A&T or don’t want the iPhone, we can give you an iPod touch at the event!

Here is some information you may find useful when using the Confabb Notes tool for the first time.

The Confabb NoteShare tool is a document that sits on your desktop and runs in your browser. When you download this document, and open it for the first time, it'll import a local copy of the agenda, as well as notes already shared by other people at the event! You can write notes on your local document, and these will be shared with your fellow attendees. And everything will be saved and synced automatically.

You may find when you run NoteShare for the first time, warning messages appear - don't worry, this is normal! You'll need to grant permission for the document to save changes locally, and then you're ready to go.

You must login prior to taking notes.

Download NoteShare to your desktop from here. Note: Save locally before opening from there.
