Diigo’s Android Power Note App

Two weeks ago I described the Diigo bookmarklet that lets you annotate websites directly within the iPad’s browser. Android users will be happy to know that Diigo also has an Android app called Power Note.

Power Note is full-featured note-taking tool for Android, similar to EverNote or Catch (formerly known as 3Banana). Like these other apps, Power Note lets you save text notes, voice recordings, and snapshots.

Where Power Note distinguishes itself is its integration with Diigo. Any notes, recordings, or snapshots you take will automatically sync with your Diigo account, so they’re accessible from any browser. You can also quickly view your saved Diigo bookmarks and annotations from within Power Note. And of course you can use Power Note to bookmark pages from within your Android browser.

All-in-all, if you’re a Diigo fan and have an Android phone (or tablet), there’s no reason why you wouldn’t want this app. Here’s just one way I’m using the app: I often use my library’s website to send myself book citations via SMS. With Power Note, I can save any SMS message on my phone to my Diigo acount, where they’ll always be easy to find!
