Leave notes to yourself around the Web
By Ryan • Feb 23rd, 2008 • Category: Web
If you love leaving little memos or sticky notes on everything from your desk to your dog, you’ll love the Firefox plugin Internote.
The browser addon lets you quickly “stick” a sticky note (Post-it®) on any Web page you visit. Write whatever you want on the sticky, and the next time you return to the page the note will be there to remind you of whatever it was you didn’t want to forget.
Once you’ve installed the plugin, you’ll have a small
in your status bar at the bottom of your browser. When you want to add an Internote (sticky) to a particular page, simply click the icon and up it pops. You can add as many Internotes as you like to a page.
Additionally, the notes feature custom fruity background colours (banana, melon, blueberry, lime, grape and cauliflower), earthy font colours (charcoal, topsoil, grass, aluminum, rose and snow), as well as various sizes for both text and stickies.
Other options include the ability to set the default position (top-left/top-right/bottom-left/bottom-right/centre) and whether or not the note is translucent.
In case you lose track of the various notes you’ve posted throughout your surfing, Internotes comes with a handy Internote manager, where you can browse, modify and delete the various Internotes you’ve created. The manager also allows you to print and export the notes, should you need to.
And if there are any Canadians in the crowd, they’ll be pleased to note that the addon’s creator is named Tim Horton. ![]()

Know of any systems like this that let you share notes with others? It would be useful to see note overlays on any website from other people. Especially for e-commerce sites. For example, I would like to know if people on my social graph say such-and-such company didn’t honour their warranty or such-and-such product doesn’t do what it says it does.
@Tai Te: I’m not aware of one - but pretty fantastic idea.
