Now that Summify's been purchased by Twitter, I've been trying out News.me as an alternative. I'm a couple of days into receiving my daily emails from News.me and... - http://www.cloudnotes.net/2012...

Zotero offers a peek at its upcoming flagship release, which won't be tied to any particular browser. Good news for me, having recently left Firefox behind for Chrome.

I've redesigned http://www.cloudnotes.net/. I've even planned a few posts. It's been a while, but seeing and using Licorize.com has kinda re-energized me.
"An exciting opportunity for Australian students, both postgraduate and undergraduate, was announced in October. The working group is calling for proposals advocating novel applications of computing clouds answering the questions: how could a cloud platform be used to solve a previously intractable problem or to deliver services in a new and scalable way? The selected proposals will be offered a paid summer internship with a member organisation, and provided with supervision, equipment and access to a variety of cloud services. Closing date is November 8."

Looks like Stumbleupon has ditched the CAPTCHA for submitting new links. It's nice to see them lessen the friction for their service. Also, it's looking a lot more like Delicious now. Interesting.
Footnotes brings it closer to Zoho. One day, Docs might even catch up. I say that as a Docs user who knows that Zoho has clearly been better for a long time.

Thanks for sharing this. The Diigo team has made a lot of changes (some very FriendFeed like). Overall, I think the Diigo service should feel faster and work better now. Hope so at least. :)

Some nice, early screenshots of Web-based OneNote.

They implementation of Excel on the web is nice enough, but this is the piece I am really looking forward to. I use OneNote at work pretty religiously, but I am still looking for a web based replacement for Google Notebook.

I'm with you on Google Notebook. It's funny, but I'm not sure anything's going to match the clean mix simplicity and features GN has/had (it's still usable for me, but for how long?).

Hadn't heard of this before, but the iPhone/iPod app impresses. If only there were a Gmail Gadget, I'd be all over this. Much prefer the Web interface and iPhone app to Remember the Milk.

I wasn't a huge fan of Webnotes, in part because I've never really felt the need to "mark up" the web. But PR services can undoubtedly use such services. Focusing their energies on this bunch might yield a modest business model.

I do like to be able to highlight stuff on web pages. I took a look at WebNotes Personal - doesn't look like much of an improvement over Diigo. Plus, folder hierarchies are not great enough for my needs. That said, Diigo is far from being the be-all, end-all product too. There's too much (non-)silent limits re: Diigo's annotating features.

I am back on with Ma.gnolia. Still the same service it was before, but hopefully with the smaller crowd they can turn it into something special again.

The group functions and other features never quite outweighed the speed and simplicity of Delicious for me, so I never switched. Given their meltdown, I'm kinda glad. Did you get your data back? Or was it lost?
- mrshl
I had a personal backup, so i did not lose anything. As far as I know, nothing was directly recovered from the original Ma.gnolia data.

This got coverage on Lifehacker, but it's no different that what I've tried before using Syncplicity and Mesh, neither of which offers a true OneNote syncing capability, because simultanous users tend to overwrite one another, create multiple notebooks, or both.

On my blog, I've been kind of hard on Twine, but that's because their ceiling is so high. If they could fix their performance and design issues (e.g., can't post to groups using their bookmarklet???!), they'd be in better shape.

Recently I've noticed that I can post to groups via the Bookmarklet. I found it very useful. What I want from twine is full integration with Delicious, FF, etc. Not just links and posting out from Twine, but vice versa.
