Ketchup: taking meeting notes, as simply as possible
Ketchup's default meetings view lets you add new meetings, with attendees and agenda items. Rearranging the agenda is a simple matter of drag and drop, and the printable version of the agenda looks clean and handout-worthy.
At the meeting, you can add notes to each agenda item, and they'll auto-save for later. Granted, there are plenty of apps for taking notes, and any of them can probably be squeezed into the role of "meeting notes app," but Ketchup is designed for the task.

As nice as this web app may be, I wouldn't recommend using it.
Why? Because essentially you're writing down notes of a meeting which may contain commercially sensitive information and then handing them over to a completely unknown third party to look after them. It's a pretty similar reason as to why companies tend to frown on you forwarding your work email to Google Mail just because "you find it easier to work with".
Just use a pad and pen or, if you really must, use your laptop and a program running locally on it.

The other issue is this is not compatible with IE. Most organizations still use IE and any other browser is unathorized......

Thanks so much for the writeup.
@Richard: I'm looking in to ways to use client side encryption to allay privacy issues. That said, isn't this an issue for any hosted service out there? Trust and privacy have to be implicit for a hosted web service to succeed.
@AlfredTV: We chose not to support IE as we've been developing this in our spare time. Dealing with IE issues would drastically eat into that limited time. We may consider doing an IE compatible offering in the future, if it makes sense.
