Ever since Google announced that they will stop development of Google Notebook, I have been searching for an alternative. I have settled on UberNote. It offers an easy way to import notes from Google Notebook and it has a Firefox add-on for easy use. The layout of UberNote is very similar to Google Notebook, so Google Notebook users such as myself will feel right at home.
The UberNote web site has a very good introduction to the site. It features a 3 minute video tour, suggested uses for students, bloggers / web workers, business users, productivity junkies, and researchers, and sample content for task lists, contacts, webclips or bookmarks, grocery lists, recipes, and event plans.
I miss Google Notebook’s “infinite” lists where new elements are loaded as you scroll down. UberNote uses the normal “page [1] [2] [3]” technique. Another thing I miss is the ability to tag entries as they are created via the Firefox Add-in. Right now I have to log in to the web interface to assign tags. Luckily it is easy to view all untagged notes, but I like Google Notebook’s approach of placing new notes in the same notebook (tag) as the last one. These are all minor issues. Overall I am very happy with UberNote.
UberNote is a free web service.
