Google Notebook - POIDH

First lets start with the standard: The views expressed on this website are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer. Now on to the post.

Today was Google's Press Day and I had the webcast going while I worked. Marissa announced some labs stuff, nothing major, just the standard fare. Yunno, Google Desktop with its own media player and other cool Google Gadgets, something called Google Trends, Google Co-op, and Google Notebook. Meh, nothing big about those at all.

Yeah right, those are all excellent releases. The 2 I'm most excited about are the Gadgets and Google Notebook. Seriously, I <3 notebook. I have some screenies for those who want to see a little of it before trying it out. Honestly, it takes marking things in del.icio.us to the next level. Search, note, keep it moving. Google knows how I work...maybe because I work at Google? Hmmmm.

Oh before I go, a quick switch update. My MBP was kicking my PC's ass until I realized it can't do dual monitors (I do not count the laptop LCD as a monitor). Very bad, oh Appley ones, very bad.

Google Notebook looks really promising. Do you know how you can launch it? Is only from Google search results? Or do you get some bookmarklets like del.ico.us and others so you can access it from any web page?

Any more information regarding the nature of the plugin? Is it IE only?

That is so sweet, not as I expected, GN doesn't look like Writely at all. Well, it is Google Notebook now, not Writely.

techshopgirl - There is an extension to make Notebook launchable from anywhere. With the extension you can note pretty much anything on any page. The extension adds a right click menu option to note whatever page you're on. You can also highlight some text and note it as well.

Sam - There are extensions for both IE and Firefox.

Haochi - Glad you like it. :)

It sure will be better than use drafts in gmail to take notes :-)

Thank you for this (hopefully) wonderful product.

Why Google Notebook at http://www.google.com/notebook can not be accessed?

The notebook a gadget for the desktop sidebar does not work.

no it doesn't work, it says 'sign in to your Google notebook account' I click the link, sign in and nothing happens.

I've tried setting the login to 'keep me signed in on this computer' and it didn't work. Rebooted and nothing. I'm using Firefox, maybe this relies on an IE cookie? I hope not!!
