Google's new web Notebook tool lets you save bits of web content in online "notebooks" that you can share with others. It's a cool tool, but doesn't have all of the features of other, similar tools. In today's SearchDay article, A Closer Look at Google Notebook, I describe how the tool works and how it stacks up against the competition.

Just a quick note that Google Notebook is now live at http://www.google.com/notebook/. As an FYI, Google Notebook is only available for Firefox and Internet Explorer at this time. I may have more on this later. Explore and Enjoy!
Postscript From Danny: Bill Slawski's got a nice review on his blog here.

Google will be launching Google Notebook next week, but if you want to take a sneak peek, you can so. Philipp Lenssen found several screen captures released on Flickr already.
You can see the front page of Google Notebook, the SERP integration, the note management, and how to share notebooks. You can see more screen shots in Erica's profile at Flickr.

Announced today as part of Google Press Day is a new Google Notebook service to go live via Google Labs next week. The service will allow you to add notes to search results, which in turn can be saved into one or more notebooks. Notes you make about a site also will show up when you visit those sites, similar to how the A9 Your Diary feature works. Yahoo and Ask also offer the ability to add notes associated with search results.
