I have a tendency to jot things down on scraps of paper. That is not a good idea for a number of reasons, the most obvious one being that it is way too easy to misplace them and end up losing information that might be vital.
Also, I tend to keep my notes a bit skimpy – IE, when I write down a phone number sometimes I do not write the person’s name, and (believe me) that poses difficulties that can make you tear your hair out.
The funny thing is that there are a wealth of web-based applications that let you create and put together notes and reminders which are web-based, and that are completely free. I have reviewed quite a handful of them in the past like Listhings and NoteThing, and now there is a new kid on the block: iBrii.
This young site lets you not only create notes from scratch but also cut anything you like from any page you visit and then create personal compilations for ulterior reference. This way, you can access the content that was originally found on different websites in the same place.
Moreover, these notes and compilations can be share through social channels even with those that don’t have iBrii. It could be said, then, that those who still have not found a virtual notepad might as well find this one up to the challenge. If (like me) you have to kick away the habit of writing everything on pieces of paper, give the site a spin and see how it fares.
