Notes Bar

This is a clever browser plug-in that integrates seamlessly with Internet Explorer (IE) and lets you take notes while surfing the web.

Click on the Notes button in the IE toolbar and a panel is launched to the left (where the search bar appears), displaying a small notepad.

An almost unlimited number of notes can be stored here, and as you assign each note a keyword it is relatively easy to find them again. Notes are listed alphabetically by keyword, or a search can be performed.

The real advantage of this note-taker is the fact that all notes are stored on the Notes Bar server, meaning that they can be accessed from any computer, anywhere.

It is also possible to upload all your Favourites to Notes Bar in seconds - really useful.

You will need to register with Notes Bar, but this requires entering nothing more than a user name and password.
