m - Google Notebook
so today I am all into notebook. since learned or realized again that can so easily 'clip' text and also images fr any site and save here.
just by- right click on highlighted selection.
or- can note any ggl search result by clicking the 'note this' option below, provided *on* google's search results page.

then can edit what I have copied. and note all around it.

so how is that different functionality from here?
most obvious is just that the page looks different. I think can more easily and happily read thru dlww than a (long) google notebook. maybe the thing is that the notebook has a google frame. whereas the blogger frame on dlww is minimal, so it feels more my own thing.

so do I feel scattered then? dlcs, blogger (dlww), notebook.
not readily apparent what the differences are for me, in how I use or intend to use each...

#dlcs I use esp to track my movements. trails of links. context. how I ended up here. from where. I'm very into the VIAs. also I think of dlcs as where I am likely to come back to for exploring. jumping-off point.

#dlww for arranging copied text and noting my thts, sort of (chronological) a record of what I am taking a (mundane) interest in. saving, and mentally processing what I am saving. and saving the mental processing blah blah.

#ggl ntbk, for now, since I am experimenting with it, is where I therefore have notes on how google notebook works. and am using it to save whole selections from sites (control-A for all; note this) from sites, to preserve how they looked when I met them... or a set of flickr thumbnails. things I like the look of and want to save -preserve- whole, or incl with images. (as opposed to just text as text - which goes to dlww).

anyway for me it's all about the activity of marking things right? not as much about the end result. not about getting organized.
but, the feeling that I could find sth when I wanted to, that's part of the motive for and pleasure of the activity. preservation. what is worth.

~unfortunate? that dlcs is perhaps where I cast the widest net of markings, things I might like to find later, but it is more difficult to search than blggr or ntbk, of course, since those are both directly ggl searchable.
whereas dlcs searching is still pretty slow, isn't it?
and my dlcs tags are about intention more than definition, of what I am marking. which is fine with me, fine.

my recent a intentions:
tumbleblogs
dating sites (comparison... & re personality/psy),
bkmrking/clipping web services this I keep finding overwhelming, really. ...PIMs (Personal Information Management) ...online organizers
