        <![CDATA[NoteBook is a data manager with the look and feel of a 23rd century notepad. It looks like paper but it's flexible, powerful, and highly reconfigurable.
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.circusponies.com/aboutnotebook30.html" target="_blank">NoteBook 3.0</a> includes the ability to add diagrams and sketches to Notebook pages.<p /></li>
The toolbar also contains an &#8220;Ink&#8221; item that lets you set the mouse mode for drawing in the shape layer<p /></li>
<li>You can now open a page in its own window, separate from the window of the Notebook that contains it. Oh how I have waited for this!<p /></li>
<li>The Contents Card has been redesigned. Spiffy.<p /></li>
<li>You can add Sticky Notes and Flags to your Notebook pages.<p /></li>
<li> NoteBook 3.0 includes a new toolbar that has been redesigned to resemble a ruler at the top of the page, and incorporates the standard text ruler. It's configurable, of course.<p /></li>

        Enter a long word; receive shorter synonyms.

<blockquote>
Popular new social networking services like Twitter, where users write extremely short messages about whatever&#8217;s on their minds, present a challenge: How can you intelligently get across a complex thought in just 140 characters without needing to use ugly abbreviations (e.g. &#8220;w/o needing 2 use ugly abbrev&#8217;s&#8221;)?
<p>
If only there were a service that helps with the struggle of rewriting a 146-letter message to fit in a 140 character limit. Well now there is: Thsrs, the thesaurus that only gives you synonyms shorter than the word you&#8217;re looking up. Just enter one of the longer words in your message, and Thsrs will suggest shorter words to use instead.
