Google Notebook is a free service offered by Google that provides a simple way to save and organize thoughts when conducting research online. This personal browser tool permits a user to write notes, and to clip text, images, and links from pages during browsing. These are saved to an online "notebook" that is accessible from any computer, and may be shared with others.

Google Notebook is an interactive scratch pad for any visited web pages, offering a single online location to collect web findings without having to leave the browser window.

Sharing functions permit a user to make public notebooks visible to others, or to collaborate with a list of users (with or without making collaborative notebooks public).

A mini Google notebook is available through a browser extension (available for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer). That allows clipping information from the web without leaving the displayed page using a quick "note this" function available within the context right click menu from anywhere inside a webpage.

Notebooks may contain headings and notes. New notes go at the bottom of a notebook, unless an insertion point (any specific note or section) has been has been pre-selected in the mini-notebook sub-window. Using the full-page notebook view, drag-and-drop features allow moving and reorganizing notes within a notebook, or between notebooks. Sorting by tags (labels), or by date order, however, is not provided.

Announced on May 10, 2006 and made available May 15, 2006. The latest version of the extension is 1.0.0.16.
