Switching to Google Notebook from Ta-Da lists Jun30 '06
I am strongly considering switching my To-Do lists from Ta-Da lists to Google Notebook.
Ta-Da lists have been great. Don’t get me wrong. However, I’m beginning to feel that there are some more features I’d like:
- Better "emergence" from the browser itself (Google Notebook has a Firefox extension that sits in your browser, and is available at a simple keystroke request).
- Smoother re-ordering of tasks (Google Notebook allows for drag-and-drop).
- More space to write (Google Notebook let’s you write into a textarea box, instead of just a textbox).
That last point - the difference is crucial.
Below is a standard textbox, which is what "Ta-Da lists" use:
Do you have any idea how hard it is to type a paragraph or two, inside that thing!?
Google Notebook uses textarea boxes:
Plain and simple - it’s just easier to type more.
And Google Notebook still offers the same simplicity of Ta-Da lists, allowing you to create multiple lists (notebooks), and make them public.
I’ll try switching things over for a while, and see how it goes.
