Google Notebook: you clip the web

Google has been rolling out new ideas like crazy at their labs. The one I’m mosted interested and excited about is Google Notebook. When all the social bookmarking sites started coming out I wanted one that allowed me to clip only the section of sites I wanted and be able to lay those out in an easy format. Clipmarks was the first one I found, but for some reason it conflicted with the other extensions I used on firefox and so I wasn’t able to use it very much. And now Google Notebook.

This is GREAT for research projects (like planning a summer schedule for work) because you can grab just the text that’s important to you and still easily have the link to get more info if necessary. It also allows me to print it all off in an easy to view format without a lot of copying and pasting.

Here’s an example page of clips from Trying to Follow.
