Stikkit - New Notetaking Tool

I heard about this webapp on Leo Laporte’s Net@Nite. It is an electronic note taking tool that works in your browser by going to the stikkit website. It is a bit like a hybrid between Google Notebook, Delicious and Stickis. It lets you write on a single workspace, which scans your unstructured notes for meaning, organising them into calendar events, to do lists, bookmarks, contact lists or general information. Here is a link to some examples about how you should write your stikkit notes.

Stikkit has lots of potential to help us organise all the unstructured content we generate throughout our digital lives, but I think it needs a few extra features to make it very useful. There is no integration to sync data with other webtools from Yahoo, Google, Delicious or Outlook Exchange. I would also like to see a Firefox extension that allows you to generate and view your content without having to change the website you are viewing. I made a workaround in Windows Firefox 2 by dragging the make a stikkit link into my toolbar. At the moment, I use Stickis to write blog entries based on sites I have visited and I am starting to use Delicious to capture and record bookmarks. I would really like to use a mashup between all these bookmarking and organisation tools.
