Ryazan, Russia - October 20, 2008: Searching for a note in Microsoft OneNote can be a bit complicated. A typical user has hundreds if not thousands of notes he wants to find quickly. But OneNote doesn't make it easy to do. When you search for a note, OneNote displays all instances of a keyword it finds inside pages, so you have to browse through an endless number of pages or go to the "Search" options to change search criteria, which you also do several times until you find what you want. Adding new notes every day makes things even more complicated. Fortunately, there is a little plug-in called Instant Navigator, which is designed to help make things easy for you when it comes to finding a note in Microsoft OneNote. Once installed, Instant Navigator enhances OneNote with an instant "quick-as-you-type" search, which lets you find a note by its title with little or no effort at all. Just begin typing a relevant keyword into the search box and you'll find the note instantly - often, as you type in the first letters of a keyword. When the note is found, click on it to load into OneNote. That's pretty much you need to do.
Another specialty of search provided by InstantNavigator lies in its ability to find a keyword in the titles of notebooks, sections and pages, which is more convenient than in OneNote. If a word you're searching for is contained in the title of a notebook or a section, OneNote includes the title into the general search results, making it impossible to navigate to the needed page quickly. Instant Navigator filters out all irrelevant results and displays exactly what you're looking for.
"This is pretty exciting stuff, I am glad to see someone do this," said Daniel Escapa, OneNote PM.
InstantNavigator integrates with Microsoft OneNote seamlessly and runs as a standalone application. To run the program, you need to click on its desktop icon or press the hotkey. By default, the hotkey is "Windows" + "Q" but it can be any other combination you specify. You can run Instant Navigator from anywhere in Windows.
Who can benefit from Instant Navigator?
Instant Navigator can benefit almost anyone who uses Microsoft OneNote to take notes on a regular basis. The following is a short overview of its benefits for different people. See more examples at .
- Journalists. Writing a good article requires quite a lot of preparation, which basically means gathering information about the topic you're going to write about. Use OneNote to collect and organize notes with photos, video, audio records and clippings from the Internet in sections. Quickly jump to the needed section using Instant Navigator when you want to add a new note or edit an old one.
- Students. When you give a report in class or answer questions, it's essential to support what you're talking about with facts, data, life examples and other information that makes you sound convincing. Use OneNote to take notes on the topic and find them quickly with Instant Navigator. Having an instant access to any piece of information can help you be better prepared for unexpected questions and give brilliant answers.
- Entrepreneurs. Keeping a client database and being able to find any contact quickly are essential for doing a successful business. Use OneNote to create a separate section for each client with the pages, such as "Contact", "To-Do", "Completed Orders" and "Partnership Ideas" or anything else you want to remember. Use Instant Navigator to find any client instantly whether you're talking to him over the phone or processing the order.
"I think OneNote is gaining some traction in the market, and this certainly helps manage the growing amount of stuff I keep in the program," said Scott W. Galbraith, P.E., M.C.P., Trailside Communications.
Available now, Instant Navigator 0.6 costs $10.00. The product runs on Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 2000 and requires Microsoft Office OneNote 2007. A free 30-day trial is available. Read more at .

First of all, I realize that anything with "viral" in the name doesn't conjure up images of something you want close by, but there is a new type of Internet marketing known as "viral marketing" is worth investigating. Despite its unflattering appellation, it is an effective Internet collaboration marketing tool, and one that is important to understand if you want to expand your business.
What is Viral Marketing?
Viral marketing is a strategy that encourages your business to carry a marketing message via e-mail, and to partner with other businesses, which will attach your marketing message to their emails. This is ultimately another form of collaborative marketing for your company, but one that lends credibility because your message is passed on through other companies. For more details go to www.sell-using-the-web.com .The name viral marketing was chosen to indicate the way a virus can rapidly multiply within a cell, and ultimately taking over the cell, bending the cell to the whims of the virus. This aggressive expansion and growth is the target of a viral marketing platform.
The strategy ultimately uses a network of relationships that you have developed, as well as the relationships and resources of the companies with whom you are collaborating, which are attaching your message to their emails. This can work both for your own business, as well as a collaborative marketing partnership with other companies.
You can include a marketing message in the emails that your company sends to its clients and customers, and you can contract to have your marketing message sent by other companies, via their emails. By creating collaborative relationships with secondary companies to pass along your email advertisement, you will be able to reach out to a whole new client base that, perhaps otherwise, you would not have been able to target.
This may sound a little confusing at first: am I sending marketing messages along with my company's emails, or are other companies sending my advertisement along with their emails? The answer is either, or both—both are good ways to get a marketing message broadcasted. Using an outside company often involves a fee, but may be a worthwhile investment due to the sheer volume of people you'll be able to reach, as well as the range of customers you'll be able to target, because it differs from your typical client base.
A Few Examples
You have undoubtedly been exposed to viral marketing, yet have not realized it or registered the fact. One of the most classic examples of viral marketing is used by the free email website; I send is an accompanying by a message from Hotmail. In this way, Hotmail is advertising its own business through the emails that each of its existing clients sends. For more information logon to www.tube-traffic.com. Another clear example is that of e-greeting cards. Each greeting card that is sent carries the company's marketing message, encouraging the recipient to send a card using this service. If I receive an electronic greeting card from a friend, I will automatically be prompted to send a card using the site from which I've just received mail.
Viral marketing is a newer Internet marketing strategy that was more recently developed and is quickly becoming popular. It is a strategic way to advertise your business and services, as well as to partner with other companies to help you form a broader collaborative marketing platform.
