Back-to-School Toolbox For Students

6 Firefox Add-Ons That Boost Productivity

Michael’s Tech Blog

At the beginning I tried to use Google Notebook but I found it too complicated and uncomfortable for such simple task as storing notes. The second was Notefish. I still use it and don’t want to move somewhere else.

It’s simple to use and a bit more flexible than Google Notebook.

L2eL - Learning to e-Learn

Exploring e-Learning

I came across this free download through Computer Active magazine.  I was impressed by the usefulness of this tool and its ease of use.  I think Notefish would be useful for students to use when researching using the internet.  I found it helpful in collecting notes on Personalising Learning, collecting both text and images.  Notefish captures a link to the webpage that the notes are taken from.  I thought this was helpful for citing references and for collecting links in a similar way to deli.ci.ous.

What is Notefish?  It makes research conducted on the Internet a bit easier to preserve.  The Notefish logo is a cartoon fish made out of stick notes which I thought was clever and very Web 2.0ish.  Creating an account is free and the plugin is available for both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

According to the attendees I personally polled, Notefish won the popular vote for the Web 2.0 company in the technology showcase that would make the biggest impact.

Yesterday I stumbled upon Notefish.com, which is another site that is supposed to make note taking from web pages easier and quicker. I have tried Google Notebook, Evernote, Kaboodle and each experiment did not last long due to some reason or another. But Notefish seems to be better than each of those, and does in fact make note taking painless.

I recently was made aware of a new web research tool, called Notefish, that seems much like Google Notebook in it's goals: to make web reasearch easier.

Like Notebook, it is a browser plug-in, but it doesn't provide the same user experience. The model of use is similar: you are browsing somewhere, you select text you want to save, and right click it (mac: hold mouse click) and you see new options allowing you to copy to Notefish.

Library clips

Notefish is similar to Google Notebook but is less of an outlining tool, actually Notefish is a very simple but effective tool.

I really like Notefish because there is no fuss clipping a section of a page, or making your own notes, then you can drag ‘n drop…it’s visually smoother.

Notefish is not only a useful tool but you can see how the servcie could be enhanced to provide even greater value. Definitely a Web application to watch.

I consistently do a lot of research online, and without fail, I always end up with a collection of information that is varied and discombobulated. If I could pull most of the useful information that I need off of one page, then that would be great, but instead, I usually have to compile research from a number of different sources in order to be able to arrive at the conclusion that I’m looking for. Instead of having random bits of information stored all over your hard drive, Notefish encourages you to consolidate all of that research onto one simple page.

Long time readers of my blog know that I’m a big fan of OneNote. Heck, I’m a big fan of any tool that helps me stay organized. Working on a helpdesk, you’re always one phone call away from a fire that needs put out and distracts you from what you were doing, so I employ a number of organizational tools to help keep me on track regardless of what the phone calls may hold on a given day. So, when I saw a mention of Notefish today, I had to take a look.

I’ve spent the morning playing with an online note-taking and storage program called Notefish. I really like it.

Notefish combines most of the things I want in a note/clip storage system, and doesn’t kludge it all up with unnecessary stuff.

On my Ubuntu notebook, I’ve found that I actually like Notefish about the same as Google Notebook.  On my Mac’s, it’s no contest - Notefish is vastly superior.

Engineering a New World

I’ve never found an easier way to concisely communicate a subject I found on the Internet.  It’s not the right tool for everything (i.e. ClipClip and Otavo and so forth are still up there.), but it is DAMN cool.

интернетные штучки

Это не просто сервис интернет-закладок, это целая записная книжка для быстрых заметок. Она, не потеряется, её не зальёт дождём, да и кончится она не скоро. А уж об удобстве организации записей - бумага нервно курит в сторонке уступая дорогу интернет-сервису быстрых закладок и заметок Notefish.

Une chose sympa également, quand vous êtes sur un projet, vous pouvez deplacer vos bookmarks et les poser ou vous voulez sur la page. A noter également, une possibilité de rendre vos bookmark invible de tout le monde en ajoutant un acces par mot de passe à vos projets.

A pesar de que existen varias herramientas como Google Notebook que están dirigidas a satisfacer esta necesidad, hoy he estado trabajando con Notefish y me ha complacido significativamente. La encuentro muy útil para facilitar la investigación en línea en torno a un tema.
