# OurNotepad

By Roy Osherove August 10, 2003 In [Cool Tools](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-tools), [Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic)

**Historical article** · Originally published August 10, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

[Marc fest](http://www.marcfest.com/) recently contacted me to respond to one of my [past posts](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/posts/7180.aspx) regarding [Chris Pirillo](http://chris.pirillo.com/). After that he mentioned the new project he's working on: [Our Notepad.com](http://www.ournotepad.com/).

“_If you want to you can also mention my latest service,_ [_www.OurNotepad.com_](http://www.ournotepad.com/) _-- just launched this weekend. You'd be the first to mention it. It's designed to be the simplest collaboration tool on the Web. See_ [_http://www.ournotepad.com/help.html_](http://www.ournotepad.com/help.html) _for more.”_

it sounds cool, but I can't honestly say I'll use it for something. Right now it's still a bit to cumbersome to use. But you may think differently, or, as newsgroups posters say “YMMV” (your mileage may vary).
