What's your favorite note-taking tool? We hope it's Evernote. Lifehacker wants to know: http://twurl.nl/iudsec

it's not desktop tool for me. It is webtool called diigo. It's integrated with browser both for taking notes on a web page(annotation) and retrieve them as bookmarks. Yes evernote has a nice OCR technology.
- pankaj
Jott for voice/txt notes. Evernote for pictures of labels, business cards and screen snaps.
- Jay Martin
Google Notebook.
- Morton Fox
It was Google Notebook but I am giving Evernote a go
- Mel Buckpitt
Evernote is it for me now. We're editing the demo now, will be up on Monday. Great stuff.
- Robert Scoble
Evernote definitely has the best functionality, I just haven't been able to push myself to start using it.
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Gee, sry but it's still a pen and paper.
- Adrienne Van Houten
Adrienne: that's because you haven't seen what Evernote can do.
- Robert Scoble
Notepad. Viva la Old School! Yes. I'm serious.
- Art Lindsey III
Onenote most often, but Evernote is a good clip capture tool.

Evernote - use it every day. Notebooks need to have sections or chapters, and the Mac version needs to add audio recording, but otherwise it's great.
- Dean Terry
best notetaking for me is my moleskine for on hand, and jott when behind the wheel.
- sean808080
Notepad++ largely, but increasingly using Google Notebook.
- Derrick Burns
Evernote. mostly use it to keep track of real estate listings. (used to use OneNote--haven't opened it in months!)
- Jasmin Smith
Franklin organizer. Paper is the best.
- Victor Ryden
Jott for voice notes, Evernote for pictures and text but iPhone produces very blurry and unusable business cards with Evernote so far, needs a focus-adjuster app to be effective.
- Sally Church
Google Notebook. Trying to find practical uses of Evernote. It still doesn't seem to have a collaborating notebooks feature.
- Chris Chua
mindjet mindmanager and moleskin

Evernote, has more flexibilty then Google Notebook. There are a few fearures I would like to added but it does the trick for me.

evernote all the way. rich internet app with clients for most major PC and mobile platforms, and sync to cloud is quick and reliable. text deco of images is a nice bonus. they do need to spend some time observing the list features of OneNote and the search search ux of Spotlight - even the best apps can always improve.
- Jon Price
Right now it's Gmail and IMAP but I am playing with Evernote. I do have concerns though about trusting my info with your cloud. You're doing all the right things. It's just that you're new and I need to get to know you. I trust Gmail.
- Steve Rubel
Vim! In second place comes Mousepad. Third place is "cat - > note.txt".
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Evernote is a great service/app, but I still find I can write faster in OneNote.
- Rafe Needleman
what about notepad++
- Eric
Rafe: I'd be convinced if you could get me OneNote on my iPhone.
- Robert Scoble
Evernote + Reqall is a killer combo on the iPhone/Web/Everywhere
- Nicholas Molnar
Google Notebook on computer, Jott when mobile.
- Ian May
I love Google Notebook, need to find a good mobile alternative.
- Rahaf Harfoush
Honestly, a moleskine notebook and a decent pen. A recent development for me, but it's working great. I get WAY too distracted taking notes on a computer where there are so many fun things I could be doing with my spare seconds! :-)
- Josh Bancroft
I have a voice recorder on my mp3 player and on my phone, but I still mainly use a moleskine and a box of mechanical pencils. Old school, that's me.
- Steven Perez
While on foot, it's either my Nokia N95 8GB or my Moleskine, but with computer access it's either Evernote or Google Docs.
- Niklas Pivic
from Alert Thingy
Mail.app. Comes pre-installed. Easy to use. Notes are synchronised across all of my devices (Mac Mini, MacBook and iPhone). Notes are also available online via MobileMe. I don't need to wait for any app to launch since I always have Mail.app running anyway.
- Paul Grav
Evernote is great but needs a printer driver and better inking. OneNote is king on TabletPC's for inking. Evernote is king for syncing.
- Andrew Forde
from twhirl
Evernote has great features, but I still find the desktop client a bit hard to use at times. Would like it a lot more if there was a proper app for my Symbian phone.
- Sam

3x5" index cards.

/agree with @Dukeswharf. An S60 client would be awesome. I've been trying to get the imap setup to work but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate.

This is a dollar bill taped to the floor of FriendFeed's headquarters. It's a bit of social engineering. They figured out it kept people from tripping on the cord cover because people noticed the money on the floor.

The dollar bill trick doesn’t work with strippers though ;)

@Earl: Consider it a stripper-filter, then. You know someone's a stripper if they trip over it.

for some reason i expect a "stripper filter" to be something coded using regular expressions. sad, i know.

I forgot about that photo. It does work, though. Everytime I visit friendfeed's offices I see the dollar and I'm careful not to trip over it. :-)
- Robert Scoble
That's dumb. Why couldn't they afford to run the cord somewhere where it wouldn't be in the way in the first place?

As an IE I can state that's definitely not something to publicize. Definitely not OSHA Kosher.

Great idea will have to remember this.

Reminds me of the deli counter in grocery store in Scotts Valley across the street from NorCal offices of MetaCreations (the Fractal Design arm of it). Local companies'd go there for lunch daily. PROBLEM: Deli counter pencils (for marking your sandwich menu) disappeared at frightful rate. SOLUTION: Deli affixed pencils with price label. Price: $100.00. Pencils stayed at store. :)

I currently work for AOL in Dulles Virginia as a Software Engineer working on UI and as a developer of the UI toolkit that AOL uses, called Boxely. I would like to one day work for a movie studio doing computer modeling and animation. I still enjoy playing with the toys I had when I was a kid and I have a basement full of full-sized vintage arcade games. Back in the mid-nineties I authored the program Vector Dream, an arcade emulator that emulated several classic 'vector' arcade games. Vector Dream was the first emulator to have an authentic transluscent vector effect - a technique I invented - and the first emulator to have backdrops (artwork that appears behind the game image).
- Cee Bee
Other emulators have since included these ideas. I also did an emulator for Marble Madness, and contributed to the now defunct Retrocade emulator. Some of my artwork and sound effects from my previous projects have found their way into the ubiquitous MAME emulator, as well as other programs I have seen on the web. I sure wish I'd patented at least the translucent vector idea when I had...

- Cee Bee
Why would anyone go to an arcade anymore? I have one on my LCD, called PS3. :)
- orionstarr
orionstarr: There's something about the tactile feel of an arcade machine. I built one for my home, basically just a shell for a Linux machine running an emulator, and there's a much more visceral feel to an arcade machine than a console or computer. Just different.

Sad about notebook, although I don't know why. I used it for a few hours, said "this is cool, I'll use it all the time," and never used it again.
- Gregory Cohen
I am honestly surprised about Jaiku. I thought Google was going to try some thing with it. You can probably assume that leashes are much shorter these days on these sort of ventures.
- Rolf Schewe
What?? Notebook is one service that is actually useful.
- Morton Fox
Gregory: That's why. :-)
- Brent Newhall
Google is doing everything right lately IMO. Shuttering areas where it doesn't hold a core skill and focusing on things that it does well.
- AJ Kohn
You always use Evernote instead of Notebook and post to the cloud
- Sally Church
@Sally Evernote won't be around in a year or two either, unless they get acquired
- Steve Rubel
Dang, I understand the reasons, but I like Notebook :/
- Bec Rowe @d0tski
Gmail is ad supported, clearly invested in and a driver of search. It's sacred. Now how about Google Reader? It doesn't make Google a dime! I wonder what its future is.
- Steve Rubel
@Steve, good point
- Sally Church
It'll be interesting to see. I'm thinking maybe little AdSense boxes at the bottom of every few articles? Or perhaps a side bar like Gmail? Or... maybe they'll just shut it down :(
- David Andrzejewski
I liked Google Notebook. :-(
- ursi
It's been a while since I read the gReader privacy policy, but it cold be a *bonanza* of information qualifying its users. You are what you subscribe.
- Chris Baskind
hey what about Grand Central?!
- Susan Beebe
not notebook!
- Yolanda
dammit...I used Notebook as much as I did Reader! What other free alternatives are there?
- JA Castillo
@JA Gmail. Check out my nerve center series.
- Steve Rubel
The way I read the Google Notebook blog, it is not going to vanish. We can still use it. Google just won't allow new users. Is this the correct interpretation?
- Steve Dittmore
@Steve Sounds like it. But why bother living in something that's not loved.
- Steve Rubel
Shutting down video? Not nice, there are videos that people link to.
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
So that will be one less option for Surfulator users that don't feel like paying for an upgrade.
- April Russo (app103)
it's not shutting down Jaiku though, that will stay around...going open source
- Zee.
Steve why do u say that about Evernote? About it not being around in the future?
- Zee.
Zee, do you have a reference for that ? I see secondary sources saying things about Jaiku, but can't find anything official.
- Michael C. Harris
Ah, Zee is correct re Jaiku, http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2009.... It's not closing.
- Michael C. Harris
@Zee, money.
- Steve Rubel
Michael, I'm on my iPhone but click the link in this post through to the official google post about Jaiku
- Zee.
@Steve Rubel, Evernote just got a good round of funding, and has footholds in a lot more platforms than Google Notebook. I will be surprised if they don't keep growing, especially when people have finally realized their name is a misnomer for what they actually do.
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
@Lindsay, Evernote will be acquired. That's my bet
- Steve Rubel
Evernote also has paying customers. I don't know how many, but I know that I happily paid.
- Joey Gibson
I hope they're not, Steve, or if they are, it's not by Google. I would be heartbroken if it languished and died the way almost all the other things I like that they've bought have. @Joey, I paid for my subscription and bought 2 gift subs for people for Christmas gifts... and turned Tad onto getting a paid sub too. They have a pretty loyal following and their services are worth paying for.

Shocking news! I really love Notebook; am using it extensively to prevent information-overload..

Jaiku was always doomed without the SMS short code. But I really liked notebook.
- Chris Mayer
we haven't got SMS for Twitter here in the UK though Chris...and it's growing ridiculously fast here
- Zee.
SMS to Jaiku was working just fine last time I tried.
- Michael C. Harris
At least they're going to keep Notebook active ... they're just stopping development.
- Brandon
Not Notebook, damnit! What am I supposed to do with my Notebook stuff now? :(
- Tanath
And indeed still does work. Perhaps "SMS short code" means something else ?
- Michael C. Harris
@Tanath Best I could find was to export to Google Docs. You have to do it for each notebook and it creates a single Gdoc with all of the items in that notebook.
- Warren Butler
Notebook was (is?) really good but needed offline access. E.g using Gears.
- Warren Butler
didn't think jaiku would last that long. twitter is far superior
- Alex Carpenter
I wrote off Jaiku months ago. And after Evernote, Google Notebook paled in comparison.
- Phil G
I really like Google Notebook :(
- Jennifer Van Grove
Have you tried Evernote, Jennifer? It's really good.
- Phil G
Phil, yeah I've tried Evernote...even have the iPhone app...but Google Notebook was a great fit for me...more than a little bummed
- Jennifer Van Grove
No big surprises here. Sad to see Jaiku go. It was good having a competitor to Twitter. Keeps the game fun. RIP Jaiku
- Sloan Bowman
Looks like Jaiku is going open-source. In which case it might rise to be even bigger than before. And as for Evernote - hey they have a pretty good revenue model. They're here to stay.
- Leo Laporte
so my theory that Jaiku has been bought as missing ready-made geo-data (BTS coordinates) for Google Mobile Search seems more or less plausible by now.
- A.T.
I wonder if they are going to get rid of video for Google Apps users too? I could see getting rid of the public Google Video since it competes with YouTube, but Google Apps video has a different purpose.
- Rob Boek
google notebook is awesome! why discontinue that?
- Kelly Johns
Notebook seems particularly suited to their mission statement. It ought to be improved, not discontinued.
- Tanath
I'm disappointed by the drop kicking of Notebook. You spend the time tagging entries with meta data, then poof, you have to deal with converting it into another system/workflow. I just did "Export to Google Docs" as an escape hatch move, but it's not the tool to gather new clippings entries.
