Google Notebook
Encyclopedia
Google Notebook is a free online application offered by Google
that allows users to save and organize clips of information while conducting research online. The browser-based tool permits a user to write notes, clip text and images, and save links from pages during a browser session. The information is saved to an online "notebook" with sharing and collaboration features. Notebooks can be made "public", or visible to others, and can also be used to collaborate with a list of users (either publicly or privately).
A few months after the Firefox extension was released, Google added a "Note this" link to each Google search result when users are logged in. Clicking on it opens up an AJAX
user interface near the bottom right of the screen just like the extension, but without the need for installing a browser add-on.
Notebooks may contain headings and notes. New notes go at the bottom of a notebook, unless an insertion point (any specific note or section) has been pre-selected in the mini-notebook sub-window. Using the full-page notebook view, drag-and-drop
features allow moving and reorganizing notes within a notebook, or between notebooks. It is also possible to export one's notebooks to Google Documents. As of November 1, 2007 labeling has now become available. There is not an option to export notes as txt files.
Google Notebook was announced on May 10, 2006 and made available May 15, 2006. In early 2009 Google announced that they were stopping development on the service. However, users who have a Google Notebook account can still use the service.
A "Modified" version of the Google notebook extension, is available for Mozilla Firefox
. The "Modified Google Notebook Extension" allows the existing Google Notebook extension to be installed on Mozilla Firefox 3.5+ which was released after Google discontinued development of the extension.
In September 2011, Google announced it would discontinue a number of its products, including Google Notebook.
