A Tiny Note: Make Notes Using Google Talk

A Tiny Note is a simple service that allows you to save tiny notes using Google Talk. It’s as easy as typing a chat message on Google Talk. It’s like having an instant assistant that’s easily accessible in a click of a chat buddy.

How it works:

Simply login to A Tiny Note using your Google Account. Add the ATN username to your Google Talk or any other third party chat clients that supports GTalk such as Pidgin or Digsby. All that’s left for you to do now is to create your first note by sending the ATN bot a chat message and the message/note will be instantly saved on your account. You can retrieve you notes by logging-in to your Tiny Note account.

You don’t need to login to A Tiny Note every time in order to save your notes. The only time you’ll need to login is when you want to retrieve your saved notes. Just chat the Tiny Note bot whenever you wish to save a thought or two. Or, you can use the website’s note tool but it takes away the effectiveness of the service, which is to use Google Talk for saving short notes.

You can also tag your notes which will come in handy if you are going to use the service a lot. It will make it easier for you to search for them by properly tagging them.

A Tiny Note is powered by Google App Engine and was developed by Joe Xu. If you’re looking for a fast way to save notes without hassle, check out A Tiny Note.

Note2Email Sends Quick Notes to your Email

Note2Email is a simple and free service which allows you to send notes to yourself which you can open in your email address later on. It won’t require you sign up or register to use the service. The note form is readily available on the homepage and has spam protection.

This is a great tool if you want to send a note or a link to yourself or to anyone with an email if you’re browsing from an unsecured network. Accessing your Gmail or other email accounts from other computers which you are not familiar with is a risky thing to do. For more security the user has the option to encrypt the content of the message. The encryption key is not stored for further protection of the content. However, Note2Email can be used for sending anonymous emails and spam messages but the filters and flag system can detect and stop these attempts from their early stages.

Evernote: Remember Everything, Access Anywhere

Evernote is a new service (still in private beta) that lets you capture information everywhere and access them anywhere. The service lets you take notes using you favorite browser, mobile phone, email and the Evernote desktop application which supports both Windows and Mac. These tools will make it easy for anyone to save content, links, audios, screenshots and snapshots.

How it works

The Web Service: Once logged in to your Evernote account, you can easily grab information from all over the internet by using their web clipper button. To install the button just head over to the settings page and click install the web clipper and look for the green “Clip to Evernote” icon. Simply drag the icon to your browser’s bookmark toolbar and you are all set. Whenever you find something in the web that interests you and would like to make a note of it, just highlight the portion of the content (including images and links) and hit the “Evernote Clipper” in your bookmark and it will be automatically transferred in to your Evernote account. Evernote will let you choose if you want to continue to your Evernote Notebook page for editing and taking more notes or if you want to save automatically and get back to the page you are browsing. This makes it convenient for the user and will cause little distraction to browsing.

The Desktop Application: This pretty much functions like the web service. The only difference is that you can use this to make notes offline and you can just drag and drop the information in to your Evernote application. You can also download the stuff you have in your online Evernote account directly to you computer by hitting the sync button. This application will also let you copy notes form another Evernote account or email and print a particular note.

The Email Service: A unique Evernote email address will be provided to each user of Evernote. You can easily forward notes to this email which will automatically save them in your account.

Tip: You can also use Jott to convert your voice into email and send them to your Evernote email account.

The Mobile Application: This is the mobile version of the desktop application which lets you send snapshots and notes from a Windows Mobile (Java and iPhone App coming soon) device into Evernote.

All Notebooks created in Evernote is always private unless you choose to make it public which can be viewed by everyone and be indexed by search engines. This feature will let you share notes with friends and anyone looking for a particular piece information through search engines. As I have mentioned before, the service is still in private beta and is available only through invites. I have 10 invitations that I can share with anyone who wants to check out the service.
