Once In A Blue Moon

I know it's been a while, but I have spent August in England again and somehow I never really feel like blogging when I'm there. Just trying out the fairly new Windows Live Writer to write this post. Nice WYSIWYG editing.

Exmouth was good. But the two days of the last week I had to spent in bed and I'm still a bit under the weather. So talk to you soon I hope.

Compiling Information with Google Notebook

I am just compiling some basic info on the German media landscape and decided to start experimenting with Google Notebook, which has been around for a while, but i have not had the time to look into.


It basically lets you copy and paste marked text (or pictures or tables) and automatically adds the corresponding source information with a single click. Makes a task like this a cakewalk. You can then even publish your compilation of notes if you want to (copyright concerns apply of course)


There is a Firefox extension available (i am not sure about IE) that makes keeping your notes in order even easier. See the little pop-up on the right-hand corner?

Like for many Google services, you need to be logged into your Google acount, if you need an invite, just ask me and i'll provide you with one.
