There are many times I will be on a wesite and need to remind myself of something. I hate Post Its worth a passion, so I won’t use those. What else is there I can do to leave myself notes? Thankfully, there’s virtual media that will do this for us.

WebNotes is trying to revolutionize the way people collect, organize, and share information on the Internet. With WebNotes you can highlight text and stick notes to web pages. All highlights and notes are stored in folders within your WebNotes account. Pages you annotate can be shared through email or online links.

Drag and drop a bookmarklet into your browser bookmark toolbar. Then when you’re on a web page, you press the “Annotate” button if you want to leave a note. A little toolbar will pop up, allowing you to leave a note anywhere on the page for yourself. Highlight something, add color to your text, or do any of a number of other little things to make something jump out at you.

If you’re online and need stickies to keep track of things, it’s time to move on and grow up. Join us in the new ages! Check out WebNotes, and sign up for a Beta account now!

I have about ten invites to give out, so send me the following message on Twitter:

I’ll choose ten of you to give a Beta code to! WebNotes will make your life much easier, I promise!
