Only for the Notebook service

Google's organizer, a service that allows users to take notes, write memos or any type of text and save it online, receives an important facelift. The interface update makes the product more attractive and can improve the functionality of the product because you're now able to identify certain functions with ease. I admit the new interface is quite impressive and somehow efficient, but I am really disappointed. Let me explain why. I logged in from a Mac version of the Opera browser and the new interface was quite unstable. Although I know some of the Google services don't support Opera browser, the Notebook returned me a lot of errors bundled with a congested interface and quite buggy tools. I tried the service in Safari and it seems like it is working pretty well, so there are probably some compatibility issues.

In fact, Google Notebook is an electronic notebook that allows you to access your notes from any location or device connected to the Internet. The product was first introduced in May 15, 2006 and since then, it was quite unpopular as Google avoided starting a powerful promotion campaign. The Internet users were talking about the solution some time ago when the security companies discovered a security issue that could allow an attacker to read the notes saved by other members of the service.

Google Notebook is available for free with a Google account and is currently compatible with most of the Internet browsers. The search giant designed a special version of the application able to allow users to post messages while they are browsing the Internet and without having to connect and login to the service. The mini Google notebook is accessible through a browser extension compatible with Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.
