Nota Inc. was founded by Isshu Rakusai in December 2007 in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We develop creative web platform services that make users all over the world happier. Our mission is to help people everywhere communicate more naturally online.
The Casual Collaboration Canvas
Nota is a collaborative web platform that allows users to create, share and collaborate on presentations with virtually any form of online material. Using Nota’s proprietary toolset, users can instantly integrate text, video, maps, clip art, photos from the web, on your computer, and from Flickr. Nota supports an ever-expanding array of creative sources to inspire your collaborative efforts.

Our idea to enjoy iPhone/iPad life

T-Shirts with Creative Commons
Showing one of the possibilities Notaland has, we created a Creative Commons (CC)-licensed T-Shirt project which we called C-Shirts. We have presented our C-Shirts at some excellent events including iSummit Croatia in 2007, iSummit Sapporo in 2008 [CC News]; and Mozilla 24.
The possibilities of iPads in a library
We recently held iPad demonstration experiments at Nakatsugawa City Library in Gifu, Japan. The experiment was in cooperation with Nagatsugawa City Library. We experimented with the possibilities of using iPads in a Library as collection search terminals and digital book readers.
