Four years ago, before I started using Unix OSes (Linux, OS X), I was an avid user of Google Notebook in Windows XP. All sorts of stuff went into my Notebook and it quickly became indispensable for me.
Then I moved to Ubuntu and, tragedy, no Google Notebook. So, I started to use Delicious (or Del.icio.us as it was called then). OK, it’s not quite the same in that you can only save or bookmark full web pages, but it was a reasonable substitute in a way. But I still missed the opportunity to save snippets to an online server.
Now, I use a number of Linux OSes as well as OS X 10.6 on a number of computers. So, it would be very useful to have a version of Google Notebook that I could use in all my OSes and have it available in all computers that I use, or will ever use.
Well, now I do thanks to the GNote extension for Chromium. In the little testing that I’ve done so far it works perfectly in both Snow Leopard and Ubuntu Karmic.
