Google Notebook sidebar for Firefox

by Brad Linder on April 24, 2007 at 09:00 PM

The Google Notebook extension for Firefox is a pretty handy tool for quickly bookmarking web pages you might want to save or come back to later in the day. But the extension opens in a rather small window and generally just gets in the way. But there's a solution: Make Google Notebook your Firefox sidebar.

Here's what you do:

Bookmark the page Google Persnolized Homepage uses for Google Notebook.
Right click on our bookmark and open properties
Click the box that says "Load this bookmark in sidebar"

Voila! Now you have a sidebar filled with your web clippings and personal notes.

well, it does NOT register in the sidebar listing with if/when one has Scrapbook add-on. Or at least if and when are about me and my FireFox 2.0.0.3

My Google Notebook doesn't seem to be stuck with a small window... it has a little arrow pointing up and to the right, "pop out", click that and I have a large window I can maximize or minimize. The only problem is I can't sort notes by dragging them to folders like on the main page... Which brings me to one point. Google uses "labels" in GMail, "tags" in Google Reader, and folder trees in Google Notebook... can't we just stick with ONE way of organizing things? Also Google Bookmarks uses labels (tags) to organize what I save, it would really be nice if I could organize my notes the same way.
