iBrii is gaining ground

IBrii is a Web application that I've been working on in the past weeks. It's not my baby, and I'm not one of parents, but I can definitely be called as an hooked-on uncle of the baby :-)

So I'm even more proud of the work we did when I read what's on in the Wired How-to Wiki. IBrii is recommended as the best tool to replace and extend the just retired Google Notebook. IBrii is even more, tough.

It is a virtual notepad through which you to write your personal notes, organize and share them with your friends. Your personal notes can contain just everything you can find in the Web. And you can clip-and-share as you browse the net. IBrii is still a beta but is going to support documents (PDF, Office documents) and RSS feeds meaning that you can publish your notes of choice to your blog.

First read this, then rush to get your account today! You'll love it.

PS: Technically speaking, IBrii is a relatively simple ASP.NET application with a lot of jQuery to shape up the UI and calling into an AJAX Service Layer for server-side logic.

Very slick. Named pages and maybe sub pages with a hierarchal navigation would make this very powerful.

One small suggestion.Can you post of a video of how it works or setup a demo account to try the service without signing up.

Sorry I usually don't like to sign-up without knowing what i'm getting. :)

I used to be google notebook user. I guess I will start using ibrii from now on.

I couldn't get it work. After I did the installation (i.e., adding the java script snippet URL to my IE 8 favorites), I clicked on "Create a Note" and nothing happend.

It appears that my browser shell prevented it from working. It works with "original" IE8 fine, as well as Firefox 3 and Google Chrome.

This is a great tool.

Hi!

I am a co-founder of Ibrii.

First of all thank you for your feedback!

We are working, also with Dino, on a new version of iBrii with multiple notebooks and named pages. So you can catalogue your notes. We are now also working on other features we want to include. If you have any suggestions please feel free to write us, we appreciate every feedback we receive.

and....? I do not see anything useful.. i think is only a stupid application for wasting time.. is 10 time more fast save a phon number on my phone, open a simple notepad or bookmark url in my browser.

So, what is the point? Come on.. i think you spent many times for do it, please spent your other time to do something more useful

Well, at the very end of the day, you're not too far from the truth. At the very end of the day, why bothering about Internet? We could communicate already with carrier pigeons and even before that with smoke signals. There were a bunch of protocols shared by some tribes at the time and they were having the same need for standardization we're having today. Nothing new under the sun ... You're right! :)
