MetaNotes is a free note system. Think of if as sticky notes meets on-line notebook meets social web-sites. They just won the Web Award in the Experimental category at the South By Southwest Interactive festival.
You can use MetaNotes to track topics, compose and brainstorm, collaborate and converse. It looks like sticky notes on a long scrolling sheet of graph paper.
Icons on the top right of the screen let you access other web services: Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, and Photobucket, for example. (click thumbnail for bigger image)
