I just signed up for this application. As a busy teacher, and now a busy graduate student, I need a place to compile all of my thoughts. Without a 1:1 initiative this would be hard for students to use. It seems best adapted for laptop and computer use.

I have tried creating something similar with Evernote. Maybe this program and Evernote would play nicely together? I will give it a try and write a blog post about it if it works.

Awesome Screenshot - no really, that's the name. Use with Explorer, Mozilla or as a Chrome extension. Perfect for all of us non-Mac users. Will be a great tool for blogging!
