Google Notebook vs. Stikkit

Here comes the question of the week: Which one do you prefer – Google Notebook or Stikkit?

Both of them are slow as hell (or maybe that’s just my Internet connection). One of them is smart and does a really good job of understanding what is that I am doing – planning a meeting, saving a bookmark, or sketch a project with tasks. Another one is integrated with my Google account. Both of them have sharing. Google’s user base is wider, meaning people that I share things with won’t have to register for Yet Another Service. But Stikkit has a number of features that Google’s alternative doesn’t have – comments, email integration, and history of changes.

Google Notebook is all about structure. It has books, sections, and notes. There is limited depth, which somewhat forces to think before saving a note. Stikkit uses tags and vague organization. That is more convenient at the time of saving the note, but can easily lead to unmanagable mess (like I have with del.icio.us bookmarks now).

Sometimes, I just hate choices…
