This isn’t open source related, so excuse the off-topic post, but I thought this well-worth passing along. This morning I happened across a link to Google Notebook, which is a tool for organizing notes as you travel the Web. Note management is made easy through a sweet Firefox extension which adds an icon to the status bar for easy access to your notebook, and an item to the context menu for quickly annotating a page.

This service seems to me particularly compelling because it’s basically a bookmark organizer with additional features. It’s nothing new of course, I’ve used del.icio.us for some time, however for some reason I like Google Notebook even more.

I’m presently working on a few new book projects, and it’s clear I’ll be making regular use of this in the coming months.
