Google Notebook launched
Announced last week and now released, Google Notebooks is an on-line repository for notes, snippets & images from web pages.
The idea behind it is that you can use it to take notes about web pages , and copy snippets from those pages, and keep them in notebooks, which you can keep private, or make accessible to the public. A link to the page where you found the material makes it easy to return to the source of the information. All this is managed via a browser plugin for IE6 (Windows) or Firefox 1.5+ (Windows & Linux). Apparently the FF extension may work on some Mac OSs, but other plugins may be developed. At first glance this looks like a way to store the sort of little snippets you find on-line but don't want to store on you local PC. It also means that the notebook can be accessed from any pc you use, just via a browser. I had been thinking about using Clipmarks, but that system seems to be overkill for my requirements. I have installed Google Notebook and will see how useful I find it. __________________ Kelvyn Web site design, hosting and marketing, Keswick in the UK Lake District If you are planning a visit to Keswick then try Keswick Tourist Information website |
