does anybody know of a site or software that would allow me to input notes and tell me what chord that would be?
i have some pretty comprehensive chord dictionaries but some things i'm not exactly able to find..
on a more specific note i'm trying to find what i would call (G, Bb, C)?

Naming chords depends more on the context of how the chord is used, than on just the notes that make it up.

Gm11 but you've dropped the fifth, which is cool because he fifth is the same in minor and major chords -- doesn't provide much information.

I mean added 11 as the 7 and 9 aren't present.

if you play guitar and even more if you use more then just standard tuning then this is good for chords, scales, modes and relations between the two...works for any stringed instrument...you can put your fingering in and it will tell you what chord(s) it is. But also you can put choose the chord you want and it will show you all the possible fingerings for any tuning (over 9000 chord shapes per tuning). It also shows you many scales and modes the work with that chord. It's very cool software but it doesn't come cheap (about 80 bux)...
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Logic has a cool little display in the transport window that shows what note/chord is being played. A vst version of a similar program would come in handy sometimes I think.
