Stikkit a Sticky notes to the browser
Stikkit is a beauty web service: It's sticky notes in your browser.
Stikkit replaces the traditional yellow sticky note with a hyper-powered web version, 3M and Moleskine be damned. Anything that you'd put on sticky notes or in a notebook -- phone numbers, names, appointments, reminders -- can be typed into the site's bare bones interface.
We've seen digital sticky notes before. Mac OS X and Windows have stickies on the desktop, and websites Nottr (which Scott reviewed this morning) give you a solution to those "Gotta write this down" moments. But Stikkit extends the basic functionality of those tools in an innovative way.
As you're typing a name and contact information, for instance, Stikkit will give you a little alert at the bottom of the screen that says "Stikkit thinks this is a(n) peep" (meaning people, as in "one of my peeps"). The service can auto-recognize dates and times, contact information and to do lists, and then store them under the corresponding category. There's also a category for bookmarks, so if your stikkit is just a URL and a description, Stikkit files it under bookmarks.
Stikkits can be tagged with keywords for easy filing and they can be shared with other stikkit users. Other users can comment on your stikkit and save it as their own.
Bookmarking is extended through the Stikkit bookmarklet for your browser. When you're browsing around and you see a page you want to remember, share or make a note about, click the Stikkit! bookmarklet and a little stikkit box opens up. Annotate, save, and move on. I like that you create the stikkit in an Ajax box, so you never have to leave the page you're on.
The app has its own shorthand that you have to learn. I had to go into the FAQ to learn how to apply tags to a stikkit. There are commands, or "hints" that you have to use -- tagging is "tag as" or the @ sign. Also, the category recognition isn't perfect. For example, if you type "yesterday" or "tomorrow" or "saturday" next to a time, Stikkit won't match the proper date with the time. It will just assume your appointment is today unless you give it a hard date. Or, again, use the shorthand.
Even with its youthful faults, Stikkit is very cool. It works as a notepad, a bookmark service, a calendar, a contacts book. It's really anything you want it to be, and in that respect, it reminded me of SBook and other open-ended apps with seemingly limitless uses.
Much like del.icio.us, I can see people using it as a sort of novelty at first, then gradually realizing that it's ruling their lives.
I first saw the product at the Launch Pad event at this week's Web 2.0 Summit. I remember thinking to myself, "Oh, that's cool. I should make a note to check that out." The irony is that, had I already signed up for Stikkit's public beta, I wouldn't have had to open up my notebook and actually make a note with a pen. I'm such a stooge.
