I prefer akanoo (akanoo.com) it is the simplest tool for online note taking I could find. Having less features makes live much more easy.

Sadly, Springnote has discontinued its service and it’s official. Now i’ve got to look for other wiki services, which is a tedious job. *sigh*

Also check out Celly, it has a built in note taking feature that works from any phone. All you do is text @me to 23559 and it is stored on your account to be read later. You can retrieve your notes via SMS text or using the Celly website. Like most other note apps, Celly is also free to use.

It’d be nice to have an online note system that would let me continue to use Daytimer pocket sized. It’s nice to have a pencil and paper always handy, but a nuisance because the information can’t be searched later (except tedious page-by-page…).

So is there an online note system that can be printed out as a daily or weekly calendar to be stuffed in a Daytimer wallet (complete with pen) to carry around?

That’d be the best of both worlds: complete portability, easy note taking (can’t beat a pen and paper) and most info could be printed on the pocket version from on-line calendar and contact info. So the only data entry would be end-of-the-day entries – not too much trouble.

Any leads much appreciated!

A private WordPress.com site is a very good idea! You can setup the site to accept both posting via email and by phone call. *Using the “category” shortcode, within your email can direct the note to one or more categories. Each WP category automatically has an RSS feed. Attach a photo, and it is included in the note.

These sites are “mobile friendly,” so it’s easy to view your notes on your Android phone, iPad, PC, etc. You might try the “P2” WP theme, which creates a Twitter-like interface for posting notes.

Great survey indeed! Thank you very much for sharing it, Marc.

I have recently implemented “OnlineNotes” (http://www.onlinenotes.net), a free, online sharable database and personal organizer that should satisfy the most demanding users . Here is a summary of the main features:
* Database with powerful filtering and sorting functions
* Contact and link manager
* To-do list and note manager
* Email scheduler
* Social bookmarking
* Online notepad
* Record viewing as grids or maps
* Possibility to embed videos, sounds, images and slide shows
* Sharing of selected records: with no one, with specific users, with anyone (registered and unregistered)
* File upload and download
* Automatic creation of image galleries, thumbnails and slide shows
* Social network of users who share information and communicate with one another
* Search results are unique web pages indexed by Google, Yahoo, Bing etc.

In http://www.onlinenotes.net/online-organizers-comparison-matrix there is a comparison matrix showing that OnlineNotes is functionally richer than Evernote and SpringPad.

I am offering OnlineNotes as public service or as a custom application with a dedicated database in a user-owned domain.

Please take a look at it and post your comments and questions here and/or send them to me by means of the OnlineNotes “contact” page.

Thanks,
Bruno Cancellieri

great list. But I miss my favorite apps here:

1> MS OneNote – I Sync it using DropBox.

2> A private WordPress.com blog (sounds crazy?). Well, there is a useful “Press This” bookmarklet too.

3> Scrapbook add-on for Firefox – for clipping web pages 🙂

I launched http://listhings.com earlier this year and it is becoming more and more popular. It’s an eco-friendly web application for storing notes on one or many canvases. Take it for a spin and try out – it’s really simple and straight-forward.

If you want to take notes of whatever interests you and bring these notes together for some reason, eventually into logical structures, then consider this app (of mine) http://www.pmm.nl Basically free for a limited number of objects (notes, sheets, relations).

I wanted a REALLY fast and hassle free way of adding a note-to-self. I use Chrome when I browse, and it is ALWAYS open. It has a feature to make shortcuts to searchengines. So instead of a searchengine I sent the “search words” to http://www.theinfopad.com/addnote.asp?note=%s
Which in short adds a note to my noteslist, and returns me to the site I was at. Lightning fast and always available no matter where I am.
eg. To add a note “buy milk” I can take any open Chrome browser and just type “n buy milk”. This conduct could probably be applied to (m)any online notetaking apps.

What a great comprehensive list!! I use Zoho and Google Docs daily on my webtop, but sometimes it’s bulky and time consuming to open up just to send myself a note. I love the idea of using Twitter since it’s already somewhat of a stream of consciousness anyway … I can just go back and see what I need to get done. Thanks for the tips!
