Google Notebook

One of my favorite Web 2.0 apps is Google Notebook. One way to use it is with a Firefox extension that resides in my bottom browser bar until I need it, then it pops out (see pop up screenshot below).



One can type or paste text in or, select a portion of a Web page and it will "clip" that piece, along with the formatting and images. Also with the Firefox extension, selecting a potion of a page, and right clicking then selecting "Note this" will create a note without any additonal clicking or pasting! Notebooks are shareable too.

I use Notebook primarily to collect and organize upcoming events for my Athens women's events blog. It works far better than saving the info to a text file and emailing it to myself. I can drag and drop notes and sections. I love it! (Below is a screen shot of the full browser page rather than pop-up)



Oh and it's also available as a widget for your customized iGoogle page!
