Google Trying to Revive a Dying Service: Google Notebook

By Shalom Issenberg | January 18, 2008

Google NotebookI noticed today that in the upper right hand corner of my browser there is a new link beside my Google account user name; a link to “My Notebooks”. Is it possible that it’s always been there and I never noticed it before? Or… is this Google’s last attempt at trying to revive a dying Google service?
 
Is Google Notebook really something I should use? Luckily for me, Google helps to answer that question in their FAQ.

Why would I want to use Google Notebook?

With Google Notebook, you can browse, clip, and organize information from across the web in a single online location that’s accessible from any computer. Planning a trip? Researching a product? Just add clippings to your notebook. You won’t ever have to leave your browser window.

In theory a tool like this could save me a lot of time. I’m more of an old timer in the sense that I will email myself using one of my many web mail accounts or online bookmarking services. Maybe a one click solution could prove very useful.

In any case I better start using the service if Google says I should.

I’m a little surprised that I didn’t see them running any PPC ads on their own search pages for this service as they do for others like iGoogle.

    Yesterday I ran

    search engine results manipulation

    through the http://mamma.com metasearch engine.

    I noticed that I was number one first page.

    Children’s Immortality Link Farms work pretty well as this result proves.
    [for now anyway]

    If you build a page to add to that farm, at least the children of earth will know you want them to live instead of the other thing. Your intention will leave evidence and have an effect on algorithms and respect for life karma.

    Thanks for listening!
