Abstract
To employ presence information in conjunction with a notebook application, presence information is determined for one or more users associated with a notebook application. The presence information may be obtained from a variety of sources, such as a communication application, a social or professional network, and a presence module of the notebook application. Once determined, the presence information is presented to the users through a user interface in conjunction with a location within the notebook application or through a separate user interface. The notebook application may further track the presence information for the users interacting with the notebook application. The users may then be enabled to interact with the user interface to use the presented presence information in conjunction with content maintained by the notebook application.
