Google Notebook could be a waste of time or the best thing ever, depending on what you do on the web. The purpose of it is so you can take down notes while you’re browsing the web.

So do you usually feel the need to jot down notes about sites as you’re browsing around? I actually have, on occasion, drawn a blank when trying to remember which website had a certain something that i needed. Now I just use the notebook whenever something looks interesting that i might want see later.

To view your notebooks quickly there is a downloadable plug in for Firefox which puts a book icon at the bottom of your browser, clicking on it brings up the notebook. You can create new notebooks which is basically like creating a new category, also, it automatically adds the site name and url to the note.

–update
The space that the plugin uses in the browser info bar can cause problems. A fixed size popup window with standard input buttons will have its buttons moved out of view, making the buttons impossible to click.

Best parts:

Add pictures to your notebook, automaticly adds url of page, very quick to open and use on the fly, uses Google’s login so you can have your notes on any computer.

Worst parts:

finding a reason to actually use it, deleting notes
Lost input buttons on fixed sized popups (when browser info bar has alot of plugins in it)
