Google Notebook, Breaking a Good Thing

There's an old saying that goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Scott Adams once made the comment regarding how engineers think, "If it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features." I think the latter thinking must have applied when Google released their latest Google Notebook
improvements this week.

I've become a major fan of this tool over time, but the new look is clunky and cluttered. I liked how sleek the interface was before, but now there's a bunch of extra shadows and rounded corners and borders that really serve no purpose but to distract me from my note taking. The notes also don't collapse very well anymore. I've also found some bugs in the search.

Bah. I hope they fix this soon.
