In this blog, I have recommended Google Notebook as a great tool for those of us who work from many computers.
However, as of January 14, 2009, Google has announced that it was planning to axe Notebook. The outcry was immediate, largely from researchers and students. A week later, Google clarified that it would not remove Notebook, but it would simply stop development on this tool.
As a result, the "Note This" feature that used to appear in your search results has disappeared, and it is now more difficult to access Notebook. However, it is still there and still usable, so you do not have to give up this valuable tool.
Since there is no other tool available that is remotely like Notebook, I do hope they reconsider. Of course, this does open the door for a third-party developer . . . I wonder if anyone is listening?
