MetaNotes is essentially an endless wall of sticky notes. You can think of it as a visual mapping device, a brain-deposit for all your musings, a collaborative think tank, a playground for brainstorming.
It’s whatever you make of it, which is just why it’s so neat. Once registered, you can easily aggregate hundreds of notes in any of the free spaces available to you. To get a feel for it you can navigate through the sea of notes simply by dragging the background or using your arrow keys. Any number of different media can be embedded into your notes: Youtube videos, pictures, songs, and texts. At the moment all notes, across all spaces are shared—everything is public. The compilation of notes and media effectively create infinite scrapbooks on any and all themes and subject matters. And of course, this cutting edge site integrates with all our favorite web darlings: Twitter, Gmail, Facebook, Photobucket, and Pownce. There’s also a Time Log feature which acts as a personal and private Twitter for users of smartphones.
