Take notes online with TwitterNotes

Remember the old school days...when we used to remember the things by taking notes. Wasn't that the best way to do / remember things.

The same flexibility is now available with TwitterNotes. With TwitterNotes, you can twit your note, tag it and it will get added to your note list, that all while your are online. The web tool is closely linked to Twitter but they only scan your timeline for notes and copy them into TwitterNote service. There will not be any change to the messages in your Twitter account.

To create a note using Twitter, you just have to write a message and prefix it with a plus sign, like this: + I will write today a post about web tools on taking notes.. And the note will be saved into your account.If you want, you can also tag your notes as per your convenience for better organization.

I like it, a nice web tool.

Internet Telephone on Mobiles

It has not been long since a company "X-series from 3" had started their Internet Telephony service on Mobile phones through Skype.

"X-Series from 3 combines the very best that a mobile and the internet has to offer, packaging it together to deliver your online world - mobile."

Close on the heels, another venture, named as Fring, proposes to allow your mobile internet connection to make peer-to-peer VoIP calls, send instant messages and talk with VoIP applications such as Skype, Google Talk , MSN Messenger and SIP, all rolled into one.

Seems convergence has indeed begun to take its place.
