The link google.com/notebook was previously redirected to google.com/gn, but now, google.com/gn is redirecting you to google.com/notebook. Seems like Google is now more favor on "Notebook" than "Google Notebook"(GN).

Yes I notice this too. I hope that /gn remains active though, "notebook" > "gn" so takes more time. |

Good catch. Anyone wants to make a bet on when this will be released? My guess is Wednesday. |
Haochi | 18 years ago # |
I guess it will be Thursday. |
Kirby Witmer | 18 years ago # |
My guess is Wednesday, as well, but that it will be up briefly, then disappear again for awhile because of all the traffic. |
Sam Davyson | 18 years ago # |
No. It will be Tuesday I think. And I think it will probably stay online and accepting sign ups. They have delayed it by a week or so to get extra capacity I think (or write all the help articles). |

LOL, like the page creator? <I guess it will be dugg, slashdotted> |
Sam Davyson | 18 years ago # |
Yeah but Page Creator, Analytics etc have been a bit of an embarassment for Google. I don't think (or certainly hope they wont) they'll let it happen again.
Does anyone know whether it is being released in Labs or as a beta?
Calendar (not a labs) survived the launch (JUST). But labs products have tended to flop. |
Kirby Witmer | 18 years ago # |
Sam, can you tell me the difference between Labs and beta?? |
Haochi | 18 years ago # |
Does Google have a explaination for why choosing Labs instead of beta? I guess it is just another name. |

Heheheheh... yeah, sounds like you're right! |

Yep, they answered that one in the Press Day Q&A. Google says the reason is that Labs makes sure the press doesn't think of those services as real, big ones... and then complain. |

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere, but perhaps I missed it, but did you notice that http://google.com/robots.txt includes the following now....
/notebook/search? |

I bet this FRIDAY...:) |
David Hetfield | 18 years ago # |
i bet this sunday.. with sign-ups as Sam said :) |
dpneal | 18 years ago # |
I'm going to be very optimistic and say tonight! Just because of the fact that they have now added it to the robots.txt file. (As mentioned by Kirby) |
chrisrowe | 18 years ago # |
now please? |
David Hetfield | 18 years ago # |
lol |
Sam Davyson | 18 years ago # |
I hope between us there is always someone checking the URL so whenever it launches we can all be there straight away. |
David Hetfield | 18 years ago # |
lol.. ive done that a second ago... hehe :)
i bet someothers have done that as well |
Philipp Lenssen | 18 years ago # |
I've just added the Notebook URL to a little tracker (email alert) script on this server. |
Sam Davyson | 18 years ago # |
Perfect! |
dpneal | 18 years ago # |
Haha. Excellent! Nice one Philipp |
Kirby Witmer | 18 years ago # |
Great, Philipp!!! |
David Hetfield | 18 years ago # |

Garett Rogers | 18 years ago # |
I think it's getting close... I bet it will launch tomorrow or even tonight! |

Woa neato. |
Stephen | 18 years ago # |
You don't even have to look at notebook. Just highlight, note, and come back later. That's really cool. Wounder if it can do video... |
