Open Google Notebook in Firefox Sidebar | Mitchelaneous

I like using Google’s Notebook feature but the extension they give you is a little lacking. I think it is too small and doesn’t allow me to open and shut it very quickly. What’s the solution? Well I took the Google personalized homepage widget for Google Notebook and added it to the sidebar of Firefox.

This is much like the “Add Google Talk to the Firefox Sidebar” trick that was so popular a few weeks back.

1. Create a new bookmark (right-click and select “Bookmark this link…”) for this address:
   

   http://www.google.com/notebook/ig?hl=__MSG_locale__

2. Right-click on that bookmark and select “Properties”.
3. Check the box that says, “Load this bookmark in sidebar” and you are good to go! It isn’t exactly rocket science so everybody should be able to enjoy this one.

Now you have a full note taking application to work with in your sidebar and it beats that tiny default extension Google provides you any day of the week.
