When you have a note-taking application that's free across platforms, an easy way to curate content with it is welcome. Late to arrive or not, Microsoft has released OneNote Clipper for Chrome. OneNote Clipper easily allows you to save anything from the Web to OneNote with a click. All your captured notes are added to your OneNote Quick Notes.

It was earlier released as a bookmarklet you could drag to your favorites bar, but now exists as a fully-fledged extension. It brings the same functionality, so you can remove the bookmarklet if installed and go with the new extension. Those on other browsers can continue using the bookmarklet until an extension comes along.

According to Microsoft, the reception to the original bookmarklet was positive.

A dedicated Chrome extension is a more finished option. It also frees up browser real-estate for many who don't like to keep the bookmarks toolbar open to access bookmarklets.

Microsoft is hoping an easier shortcut to their note-taking app will boost usage. OneNote has many fans and with some recent updates like Camera Scan it has gotten even better. Meanwhile Evernote has its Web Clipper, Google is thinking of debuting Google Stars (their planned take on bookmarking the Web), and Springpad has shuttered. Personal web curation is a productive space and Microsoft has made a small improvement.
