Google 宣布即将停止Google Notebook

google notebook 宣布停止更新了，非常可惜。由于google notebook只能连上网络才能使用，而不能像onenotes那样可以在本地随时打开。我一直期待google能开发出notebook的gears版，将网摘笔记记录在网络的同时，也能记录在本地硬盘。在firefox的notes类插件中，我觉得google notebook的网页摘录功能易用性是最好的，能够很方便地收藏网页，给网页标签并作评论。当初我甚至将网摘评论都写在google notebook上面。但google似乎从来都没有重视这款产品的开发，没有加入rss功能，没有同步到本地，一些功能可以做得更完美更人性化。很明显，google notebook也属于数十种google尚未盈利产品其中之一，但我想这并不是google notebook停止继续开发的原因。

Official Google Notebook Blog: Stopping development on Google Notebook

At Google, we're constantly working to innovate and improve our products so people can easily find and manage information. At times though, we have to decide where to focus our efforts and which technologies we expect will yield the most benefit to users in the long run.

Starting next week, we plan to stop active development on Google Notebook. This means we'll no longer be adding features or offer Notebook for new users. But don't fret, we'll continue to maintain service for those of you who've already signed up. As part of this plan, however, we will no longer support the Notebook Extension, but as always users who have already signed up will continue to have access to their data via the web interface at http://www.google.com/notebook.
