My Biker Guy

What is WebNotes?

Simply stated, WebNotes is an online application that uses tools familiar to all of us… highlighters and sticky notes. WebNotes allows you to virtually highlight text or stick virtual sticky notes to web pages. But, it’s much more than that. After you make your notes, you can organize them in groups and share them with friends through online links and email.

How will WebNotes Help?

I can see a number of uses for those of us who work online. For students and academics who need to conduct research for papers, this seems like the perfect online solution for collecting, organizing, and sharing information.

For the business minded, I think you’ll find WebNotes a useful tool for organizing, tracking, and sharing information related to your client projects.

WebNotes is still in beta, but you can try a fully functional demo of WebNotes. You can also view the demo video of WebNotes here. So head on over and sign up. The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll be able to start using the cool tool!
