Googlified

Google Notebook launched a new blog at http://googlenotebook blog.blogspot.com - they must have been very salty when they found out that someone has picked up http://googlenotebook. blogspot.com before they did. Oh, that’s me (sorry, I was/am bad as a little kid, that should explain why I never receive any Christmas gifts from Santa).

As Notebook evolves, we’re staying up to speed on your thoughts by reading your blog posts. Now, we’re pleased to introduce a blog of our own so that you can keep up with news and tips about Notebook.

The last time I used Google Notebook was 13 months ago, what about you?

also: Google SketchUp API Blog is another blog Google launched recently.

Previously, there are only “Note this” links next to each result on Google’s search result pages. Now, when you click on the “My Notebooks” link on top of the page or the “Note this” button, a Google Notebook extension-like interface will pop up and lets you add/edit the entry even if you don’t have the extension installed.

note: what I have written in my Notebook in the screen shot above might not be true. :)

Google’s “not-so-popular” (I assume) online organizer Google Notebook today gets an user interface update.

The new UI is pretty slick, in my opinion, and with better usability than the previous one. You can now also sort the notes by dates and their names with the Sort feature.

I have heard that it increase productivity*, is it true? Maybe I should consider giving it one more chance, starting tomorrow.

*There’s a browser plugin for both Firefox and Internet Explorer, you can download it here.
