A lot of people will recommend Evernote for this, I have also recommended it in my blogs in the past.
However, one of the things I wanted in an online notebook is being able to keep the notes within the same area as my other files. As well as having a 'notebook' layout, this is much easier for those who want something simple to setup and use. I have a Mac and I still prefer the Microsoft Office products, this adds another element to keep all of my files together, using tried-and-true programs.
