Google Notebook this week

As was announced at the annual Press Day, Google Notebook is set to make it's debut this week.  As others have spotted in the Google Blogoscoped Forums, www.google.com/gn now redirects to /notebook rather than /notebook redirecting to /gn -- an attempt to make the URL a bit more user friendly I would assume.

On top of that, a new entry into the robots.txt file tells spiders not to crawl "/notebook/search?".  It's only a matter of days until Google Notebook is launched. Users in the Blogoscoped forums are putting their guesses in as to the release date -- right now the popular vote is Wednesday.
