As a OneNote enthusiast I always wanted to know if it’s possible to collaborate and share your notes over the internet. OneNote requires a SharePoint web site for shared notebooks which is usually a hassle to setup. But it turns out there is an easy way to do it with the Office Live Small Business account.

Bookmarks are becoming a thing of the past
I collected my web bookmarks for 8 years or so. I cherished them and carefully transfered them from one computer to another. But I rarely bothered to look what I actually collected. Random bookmark folders and various links of temporary importance dominated in my bookmarks. Today I decided to sort them out, because it was clearly started to become just a huge mess. It turned out I didn’t really need many of them. Many bookmarks were just useless because I can find the same information in Google faster than in my bookmark folders. I went from more than 700 bookmarks down to about 250, restoring some order in my favorites. After this excercise, it became clear to me that if I need to find something I would first search Google than again… search Google and only then search my bookmarks. The need to use bookmarks is significantly reduced. I decided that I will collect only rare information of a special meaning to me, the information that I had a hard time finding on the internet.
