What is lino?
lino is a web-based sticky note service.
What is the web-based sticky note service?
This service provides its registered users (lino users) with virtual stickies operable on a web browser along with “canvas”, a user specific bulletin board-like online area. Both lino users and non-registered users (guests) can post stickies on a canvas, and relocate or remove them when needed. A lino user can choose public access level for each of his/her canvases from three levels; “Public” (publicly accessible), “Friends” (limitedly accessible), and “Private”(non-accessible except by its creator).
What would be possible usage of lino?
lino can be used for managing to-do, organizing ideas, exchanging ideas with friends or colleagues, and so on. lino has a feature that lets lino users and guests (with conditions) post pictures on a canvas via Email, and this feature may be used to create a shared picture gallery on a canvas with friends, family, and etc.
How can I use this service?
To use all the features lino provides, please create a free lino account. Use of OpenID is also available for creation of a lino account. Non-registered users (guests) may also be able to browse public canvases of lino users and post stickies on them (with conditions).

How is lino different from a desktop sticky notes application?

That means you can login to your lino account using a computer at home, at school, at work, and even using a cell phone. In addition, lino users can set certain canvases of theirs to be publicly accessible and let other lino users and guests post stickies on them.
Who is the service provider?
lino has been developed and run by Infoteria Corporation.
Operating environment for lino (About lino compatible web browsers)
lino is compatible with Firefox 3, 3.5, Safari 3, 4, Chrome and Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8.
Even though lino is compatible with those browsers, the processing speed(the comfort of using lino) differ a lot between each browser.
In lino dev team, Firefox 3.5, Safari 4 and Chrome are comfortable with using lino.
If you are Internet Explorer 6, 7 or 8 user and feel that lino is slow, please try lino with Firefox, Safari or Chrome. Be aware that IE6 has some restrictions such as no shadow on stickies, narrower area for dragging stickies, and lower resolution icons.
Behavior of lino is slow.
It depends on the performance of your PC and your browser. It seems that Safari3 and Firefox2 performs faster than IE7.
