This is amazing, been wanting something like this for a while. I just wish there was software that allowed me to put notes on parts of websites and keep track of comments. Kind of like building a digital notebook of all the stuff I read and take notes on. The Amazon Kindle sort of does that with books. Is there such a software out there?



That is pretty damn cool. The only missing item is a compilation of everything I highlight or leave notes on, but awesome none the less. Thanks.


Did you find the 'your highlighted pages' link? Sounds like what you want.


Another alternative that's straight from GOOG: http://www.google.com/notebook/


1. The interface is pretty disruptive, with the two large gray buttons on the same horizontal visual line as the header of the search result. I only managed to turn this off by opting in to the "Keyboard Shortcuts" Google Labs experiment, which actually is pretty useful.

2. Does this mean that we'll now have YouTube-quality comments just a click away from the search results we see dozens of times a day?


Agree on #2. I have seen the average commenter on the internet, and he depresses me deeply.


Does it learn what you like as you add in more of your preferences? This seems useful to people who don't use their bookmarks (I don't) and just use google.


Was this only launched in the US ? I'm not geting any visual clutter for SearchWiki options.



They will get a lot of training and assessment data for their algorithms in this way.
