Mac users (only, I’m afraid) might be interested in this intriguing little app I’ve only recently discovered: Ghostnote. It’s a sticky-note app (yawn) - with a difference, in that it remembers the context of each note automatically. You can attach notes to documents, folders, applications and even websites. Oh, and it supports rich text, which is always nice.
The contextual thing is where it’s all heading, folks! That’s where data management should now be focused, but everybody’s being very, very slow to get there. To the frustration of us CRIMPers. However, Ghostnote is not expensive, and appears (I’ve only just installed it) to work pretty well.

Thanks Bill - signed in, downloaded and launched. (I was looking for something exactly like this about six months ago, with a vague memory that such an application existed, possibly during my Windows days. But then I never found it.)

A cheap thrill for $4.99—thanks Bill. From the developer’s FAQ it looks like the best is yet to come—searchable, exportable notes, more than one note per app/file/folder. I think for now the notes are locked into the Application Support folder somewhere. GhostNotes has a bit a a problem with Spaces too—but Spaces messes with lots of apps so that’s not unusual.

I’m glad to see they’re working on a Windows version.
I started a thread a while back about ideas for marking web pages as “done” when you’ve taken notes or downloaded the info on that page. This is a persistent problem for me because I’m continuously collecting articles on a variety of topics. How do I know whether I already have that info? Is that something I captured last year? Who knows. It would be a great solution if I could attach a sticky note that would pop up every time a web page loads.
