It is quite disappointing when Google decided not to continue any further development on Google Notebook. After opened to the public almost a year ago, the end of the development has the deep meaning to the loyal users like me that using it extensively to take a quick note, clip notes and simple code for future reference

Although, the site and all data still accessible to all existing users, but the fact that ‘browser extension’ which is among the most useful features here no longer supported, means that Google Notebook is just like other online document,  in a sense how to keep the document (copy & paste).

It is unknown, how long Google will maintain the sites and data although I doubt it would be long enough. Since there is no longer further development, that could be the sign that Google Notebook is nearing its prime time.

Labnol provide few Google Notebook’s alternatives and how to move out the data to other services such as Evernote , and one commentator pointing to Diigo.  Beside that, you might as well looking at  Zoho Notes which  I blog briefly before.

By looking at the RSS chicklet, which shows the number of people subscribing to its blog, which stood at lowly3k, it is quite obvious that Google Notebook has not received as much attention as other Google Services . And that could be the reason why Google decide to part with one of its technology.
