Google Notebook is up!

For a while now, people have been talking about Google Notebook and how cool it’s going to be, and now it’s here! I was reading an article on ZDNet and it showed the login page for Notebook and I was able to get in. From the Google Notebook help page:
Google Notebook makes web research of all kinds – from planning a vacation to researching a school paper to buying a car – easier and more efficient by enabling you to clip and gather information even while you’re browsing the web.
And since Google Notebook lives in your browser, you won’t be left with a scattered collection of notes, Word docs, and browser bookmarks to sort through; all your web findings will be gathering into one organized, easy accessible location that you can access from any computer.
I’ve been looking at getting an account with Backback for a while, but now I think that I’ll give the Google Notebook a try first. It doesn’t look like there is much functionality to it right now, but that may be that it just went up a few minutes ago. Right now I can just add different notebooks and add textual notes right now. There is also an extension that makes it easier to be able to take notes from any page that you’re visiting. Hopefully, we will soon be able to see how powerful this little toy will be!
