The obvious rival here is Google Notebook, the search giant powered plugin that also lets you select text and images from the web as you’re browsing and organize them into neat categories. But SimplyBox is surprisingly more pliable and intuitive. First off, Google Notebook doesn’t take a screenshot of how info looks on its page of origin — rather, you highlight the content you want with your cursor and it’s converted into a standard format (much like blog posts are in Google Reader). You also need to designate labels for each item you note (Paris Vacation or otherwise), whereas with SimplyBox, you just drag your screenshot to the appropriately labeled box.
