Web2.0 Expo 2008 - SpringNote - Wiki-based Online Notes
HeeKyong Yoon from SpringNote.com, was nice enough to chat with me on their cool “wiki” product, SpringNote:

FYI, SpringNote.com is a subsidiary of NcSoft.com, the creators of legendary online game, Lineage.
Well, I tried out SpringNote, here’s a screenshot:

It’s very simple to use, just like a real notebook except you have unlimited number of pages plus you get bunch of already-made templates like Bookshelf, Monthly Plan, Recipe, and etc…etc…
What I found most interesting was that it is a “wiki” site but you don’t need to know any wiki markup language and start editing your online notes right away. You also have the option to share your notes or keep them private.
As far as technology goes, I love the fact that SpringNote has incorporated a LOT of AJAX. (probably mostly AJAX)
I might start using it more real soon. The only downside I saw was that SpringNote’s servers are hosted in Korea. Although the site does fairly fast, I measured, 168ms ping times from my PC in San Francisco.
FYI, Zedomax.com get 41ms ping times, 4 times faster as servers are hosted in San Diego, California.
Although they could keep running servers from Korea, I think they can grab much larger audience in the U.S. by simply serving their pages from servers in the U.S. (Besides, it’s probably much cheaper to host it here.)
Other than that, I find SpringNote as the next generation online note web app. I will have to dump my MS Outlook all together and start using SpringNotes, way simpler and easier for mass collaboration.
Never give up, especially your blog dude!

Lol, Mike from Bloggin-Ads posted a review about Zedomax Network. I didn’t ask for one but thanks for the link love Mike.
On the upside, we are actually getting 115K uniques for this blog.
On the downside, I am actually broke as hell but it’s sounds really good when you say I make a lot of money! Lol…
Anyways, David is no longer writing for us anymore because we are really running out of money. (again…)
But, what I’ve experience in my life, is that when you are truly really broke with $100 in the bank, you really start trying hard.
Even lab rats will not follow the cheese unless they are tested with hunger and what not.
Anyways, thanks Mike for the blog post, every blog post helps! I will have to get you back now…feel bad with all the help you’ve given me.
Skype Intergrated Keyboard

Cool stuff, not that I need it.
With this Buffalo keyboard and built-in Skype phone, otherwise known as the — get ready for it — BKBU-SKJ109/SV, you’ll have everything you need to communicate right in front of you. It’s like a little nerve center for the budding power executive or evil villain.
The receiver is Skype certified, so you won’t have to do much to it to get it to work other than have Skype on your machine and install all of the appropriate software. There is one downside, though, that you’ll notice right when you pick up the set: it’s pretty small. While that’s a good thing in the sense that it doesn’t add too much to the keyboard, you may not feel all that powerful after all. Other than that, you’ve got a full board with 109 keys.
The Buffalo BKBU-SKJ109/SV comes out in Japan, where Skype is crazy popular, in early October for around $65.
