10 Reasons Writers Should Use Google Notebook

July 26th, 2007 | Category: Tools

Google NotebookFor years I juggled text files, and jumped from program to program seeking the perfect note-taker. I eventually settled on Yahoo Notepad, but was forever annoyed by its interface and inability to share notes.

Then Google came out with Google Notebook, and all my problems were solved. Here are ten reasons writers should use Google Notebook:

  1. With the plugin for Firefox, clipping web items is only two clicks away. Requires Firefox.
  2. Access your notes from any computer with access to the internet.
  3. Share your notes with others or add a friend for collaboration.
  4. Unlimited notebooks.
  5. Easily organized with section tabs.
  6. Can store images too!
  7. Much more friendly than Yahoo Notepad, or Evernote.
  8. Better than having 10,000 text files cluttering up your computer.
  9. Folks over at Writer Unboxed have been caught using Google Notebook!
  10. It’s free!

    I’ve been using it for a while now, but only recently started using some of the collaboration and sharing features, which make it even better!

    Thanks for the hat tip, Eric! I am addicted to the notebook at this point. It’s so convenient and easy to use.

    Thanks for this. I’ll check it out.

    I’m also going to let a virtual assistant friend know about this…it seems it would help writers/creatives get very organized!
