Redefining the Impossible

Google Notebook


Bah, just getting back into using Opera and Google go and release Google Notebook a kind of web based notebook that is best used with a Firefox extension, no such extension being available for Opera yet. The extension allows you to select a load of text on a web page and clip it into a web based notebook. You thus create your own scrapbook of snippets from your surfing. You can add your own annotations, subheadings etc and also edit the text in the snippets. Once you've done this I guess you print it out and you have your homework done.

It could be used from Opera for just taking notes down which is kinda useful but not so much fun and plagiarism would involve bothersome copying and pasting. Too much trouble.

Google Notebook is also similar in utility to EverNote. I wonder how long each notebook page can be?

Update: I know what's missing: tagging. All it has is powerful google searching to help you find stuff.
