Google Keep resembles Google Notebook, which allowed users to clip and organize information from the Web.

You can archive notes, which will send them to a section at the bottom of your list. And, of course, this being Google, there is a search bar. It works.

Signs of Google Keep hints of a new future
It looks like Google might be bringing another one back from the dead in the form of a new note-taking service called "Google Keep." Remember Google Notebook? It's back!

Google might be about to get into the note-taking game after an Evernote-like service sprang up on its Google Drive service, only to disappear as quietly as it arrived.
The desktop version had gone live earlier this evening but went offline hald an hour later, perhaps indicating that it had emerged to the world earlier than planned.
This isn’t the first time that Google Keep has been spotted, either. Last July, Google accidentally included a screenshot in an official Google+ post that included “save to Google Keep” label.

If Google Keep does indeed officially go live later, it will compete with other note-taking services like Evernote, Pocket, and Onenote.

This actually isn't the first we've seen of Keep — last year, Google accidentally included a screenshot in an official Google+ post that contained a link labeled "save to Google Keep".
