Just came across this great website that I wanted to share with y'all:
SolutionWatch.
Written by Brian Benzinger, SolutionWatch's aim is to survey "the new generation of the web,
reviewing and providing in-depth walkthroughs of today’s best products
and services."
This post is a comprehensive list of web-based note-taking tools. Brian
writes, "I am constantly writing notes. Whether it be for my blog,
work,
meeting, new ideas, or just basic notes, I am always jotting something
down. So I started thinking about all the services I’ve used for taking
notes and thought it would be a good idea to share them with you and
while I’m at it, to make a list of any others that I find."
He breaks out these note-taking solutions into several categories:
- Quick Public Pages
Using a quick public page service, as I call it, is my favorite method of saving notes on the go.
- Basic Note Taking
Quick public pages aren’t really made for note-taking, although they work really well for it.
- Development
These are like quick public
pages, but for programmers.
- Online Documents
I found that there are times that simple text notes just don’t always
fit my needs. There may be a note or part of a document that I need to
save with text formatting, colors, and headings, but most note-taking
services are text-only.
- Voice Recording
Sometimes it’s just simpler to speak something
out loud rather then writing and although the following services aren’t
meant for taking notes specifically, they seem to work quite well.
- Start Pages
What better place to write notes then a start page that opens every time you open your web browser?
- Online Databases
Online database services can also be used for managing notes.
These
note-taking solutions
are must-haves for online
learners, traditional students, compulsive list-makers, or anyone who
has had to scribble down a phone number, brainstorm, or key take-away from
a lecture or reading! Enjoy!
