...you’ve never used Google Notebook before, you’re out of luck unfortunately—development of the service was discreetly terminated in January 2009. As of now, past users can continue to access and update their notebooks, but the tech giant no longer supports new Notebook sign-ups nor actively aims to improve current features.

There’s an idea for a Bud Light commercial in there somewhere and an extremely complicated prank idea I once devised to trick someone into thinking that they’ve traveled back in time...
