IDEA - Anyone want to take a Gander on this Goose? (Google Notebook Alternative)

 :o I didn't know Google was ending Notebook. I'm going to cry.



I use it to collect links, partial text and full text for research for my article writing, or for reference to specific topics of personal interest.   The search function is mandatory in my world. And being able to export to Google docs and work offline is priceless because my internet goes out a lot and can be very slow. (Satellite - by necessity, not by choice.) I guess for real people being able to make a deadline and work offline when WiFi isn't available is a reason to need downloading. 

I have no idea where to start looking for an alternative...paying is out of the question...and some I've seen in my travels were too social networking oriented. I just want a notebook to collect ideas (text, urls, articles, or my own thoughts) search them and access them as efficiently as I can. 

Going through google isn't a necessity to me, just a small convenience - actually, an inconvenience since I have to sign in all the time. It's useful only because I need to work offline - but that could be with or without google...

If I was a programmer I'd be diving into this. But...I'm not. I love you guys. You make my life so easy.  :P

Wow...I'm still in shock...

Well, technically they aren't ending Notebook. Just stopping development of it.

This can both be good or bad depending on your perspective. Good because Google likes to have products stay in beta for so long anyways that at least they are honest with them. Bad because Google still has lots of things to fix with Notebook and this is almost a red flag from them to you to stop using Notebook.

You might want to check out the links. First start would be Evernote. They're one of the most stable and earliest people who set up a Notebook importer and they're also search-centric. You just have to tolerate the desktop client because the website isn't quite as polished.
