For those toying with Onfolio, if you visit this blog: http://www.chadalderson.com/ you’ll find a coupon for an excellent discount on Onfolio Professional ($30 instead of $100). I think Onfolio 2.0 is a big step forward, and the extra features make the professional version worth having (and at no cost with the coupon code).

I realise many people (myself included) are uneasy about the proprietary file format. This has also been discussed quite a bit in the Onfolio forums. The developers seem to accept the point, and have provided an “export to XML” utility, to export whole collections. They also say they are working on plug-ins to allow Google/Yahoo desktop search to index the Onfolio files. This won’t go far enough for some, but it eases my worries.

I’d prefer if Onfolio had an open format like Netsnippets, but I do think Onfolio is a better program, particularly for those who use Firefox.

PS: the coupon referred to above does seem a genuine public coupon provided to the blog writer by Onfolio. It expires on May 31.
