Here is a brief writeup on Springnote that just came out:

And Springnote itself:

I am keeping an eye out for Web 2.0 notekeeping sites, but haven't had time to really try any of them out yet. Others I have noticed:

IOutliner
Stikkit
todoist
Google Notebook
Yahoo Notepad
backpack - www.backpackit.com
www.pimonline.com
notesake

I'd like to hear about any others.

Jim, here is a site I found just this morning:
http://www.centraldesktop.com/

Also, here is a listing compiled by the creator of IT/Redux of various kinds of aps on the web:

He has used a web-based data base for his list.

I'm puzzled why, in 2007/2008, anyone would want to use a web-based note-taking tool. For me, the connectivity just isn't there (I end up using my laptop on the bus almost an hour a day). To say nothing of how much more fluid and responsive a dedicated outliner like Opal is compared to any web site I've ever used.

So if you use an online product, what makes it work for you? Are you actually online 24/7?

Yes, I've moved from a laptop-based life to a web-based life, primarily because of my iPhone's 24/7 connectivity. I primarily use 37Signal's Backpack site, updated from my computers at work and at home, and referenced on my phone. I use emails (or Jott) to add data to the site when not in front of a computer. I also use Nozbe to manage my more detailed personal projects.

Yes, my iPhone has changed my life.

I like the fact that Backpack and Nozbe are subscriber-based commercial products, as there is incentive to the providers to provide a reliable, secure product.

It's true that neither has the functionality of ActionOutline, nevertheless UltraRecall, but I prefer accessibility to robust functionality.

If I do have commute downtime (which I treasure, as I almost always drive to work), I prefer to read a book rather than use an electronic device.

I just stumbled across todoist. It looks very slick. Collapsable, hierarchical project lists and task lists. A very smooth, minimal ui, but packed with lots of features. This might work very well for my day to day task lists.

I did get wireless broadband to be able to be connected almost 24/7 if needed. I use multiple computers, and syncing them is a pain. I've had problems with every approach I've tried. A good web-based app is a nice thought. But I haven't found many good web apps yet. todoist might just be one, though.

Since we last discussed this (as far as I remember) there's been a lot of related mobility in the web, as I'm sure ypu've noticed. Here's an interesting on-line outliner:

found, along with many other web-based tools in the Mind Mapping Blog:
