Sticky Notes for the Web - Ubikuo

Well you know they have run out of innovative ideas when sticky notes go Web 2.0. Well, at least that was my first thought when I had a look at Ubikuo. After spending a little time with it though, I do have to say that what I see has impressed me thus far and I can not wait to see what these folks do in the future.

First things first though, what is Ubikuo? This is another Web application that defines itself as being “Web 2.0″. Oh sorry, most of the world does not know what that means either. Let me try again. Ubikuo gives you the ability to create sticky notes on the Web. Now that is an idea we can all understand.

Here is what the developers of the Web site have to say about it.

Ubikuo is an online service providing storage of public and private notes, viewable any place, anywhere with an internet connection. Ubikuo introduced the idea of ubiquitous web notes, viewable in pretty much any modern web browser. You can create up to 20 notes each with its own title, color, font, size and position, all visible in your Ubikuo workspace.

Alright, so you can create notes on a Web site and make them public or private. What else is there? Well, you can take them to your dashboard if you use OS X Tiger. You can use them via your mobile device, if you visit their special Web site for doing so. You can even get a list of your notes send to you via an RSS feed.

Over all it is a nice idea - but I do not understand what problem they are solving with this Web application.
