If you ever find yourself needing to quickly write something down and have Internet access, an “online notepad” may be the way to go. Since the text is stored online, it can be accessed or modified from anywhere without worry of losing data, so the convenience is fantastic.

That said, just about all online email services offer a “Drafts” feature where you can compose and save message you are not ready to send, so use this as your online notepad. You probably check your email frequently so it makes perfect sense to keep everything in one place. Again, the convenience is fantastic.
