"Can we get an amen? Google Notebook worked: it was simple, effective, web-friendly, and perfectly suited to a Getting Things Done system. So when Google announced that it was going to drop the service, some users were left short-changed.  Some of those disgruntled users became vocal, of course, starting a petition to save Google Notebook. \nThankfully, note-taking service Evernote has swooped in to the rescue with an easy to use \"Import from Google Notebook\" option...I think I'm in love again.\nEvernote is the beloved web-based, mobile, and desktop productivity and rich media note-taking system that has established a dedicated following. With the imminent demise of Google Notebook, I revisited Evernote earlier this week and liked what I saw. The desktop application syncs nicely with the iPhone app and web platform (and vice versa), making it the perfect solution for staying productive at home, in the office, and on the road.\n\nTo import your notes from Google Notebook, select a notebook, click \"export\", choose the Atom option, and save to disk. Repeat this step for each notebook you want to import into Evernote. When you're done, login into the Evernote website, click on Settings, navigate to the bottom of the page and find the \"Import into Evernote\" section, click the link, and then select Google Notebook. You'll need to import notebooks one by one, but this also makes it easier to relocate your notes to their appropriate container.\n\nThere are some minor issues I noticed, like the fact that all imported notes list the created day as today, and there's an error if you try to upload back to back notebooks, though going through the process all over again should work (ie. Settings -&gt; Import Options -&gt; Google Notebook). For the most part, though, Evernote does a damn good job at helping you seamlessly transition to their service. It's time to say goodbye Google and hello Evernote!\nWatch the video below for quick walk-through if you still need help.\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Note Taking Resources From Mashable\n\n-Top 10 Online Note Taking Applications\n-Top 30 iPhone Apps for Organization and Productivity\n-100+ More Ways to Organize Your Life\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
