Abstract: A method and system for creating and using notes while browsing information resources (e.g., Web pages) available on a data network (e.g., the Internet) with a client device (e.g., a personal computer, a personal digital assistant, a cellular telephone, and the like) are disclosed. In accordance with the disclosed method and system, when the client device is used to access an information resource, a user of the client device may enter data comprising a note associated with the information resource being accessed. The note is stored in a file for later retrieval. As the user accesses various information resources, they may create separate notes associated with each information resource accessed. When the user subsequently returns to an information resource associated with a previously created and stored note, such note may be automatically displayed to the user.
