Systems and services exist that are designed to help people remember personal information. An example of such a service is Evernote provided by Evernote Corporation of Mountain View, Calif. Some examples of the types of information that can be stored in Evernote are: clips from web sites, business cards, emails, documents, meeting notes, reminders, photographs (personal, landscapes, wine labels, etc.), wish-lists, receipts, audio notes, etc. Evernote lets users capture and retrieve any type of information using custom software running on a desktop or laptop computer, telephone, tablet, PDA or smartphone. Alternatively, Evernote also has a web-application which gives users access to their stored information without having to install any software. Once information is in Evernote, users can search for it using any combination of time, date, geo-location, tags, content attributes or keywords. Evernote also automatically identifies and indexes the printed and handwritten words inside of images. The general name for a piece of information in Evernote is a “note.”
Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide systems and techniques that advantageously facilitate the searching for and presenting of relevant notes in connection with other website content accessed by a visitor and that facilitate control by the site owner of website content clipped to a note by the visitor.
