talazem & group,

Hello, I am Stefan and coming from Germany. I have been looking for different applications to manage information, files, notes etc. like many of you. ConnectedText fits very nice to my workflow and my way of thinking. It is not an outliner, it is a text connector. I think that outlining is not enough to manage today’s every day complexity. Don’t understand me wrong: I don’t think oulining is not important! When it comes to structure a document or to develop a website, outlining is essential. But I personally think that is is part of something bigger.

ConnectedText is a desktop text wiki system which allows not only to interlink all entered text but although to categorize them. Further, you can add links to files, websites and email addresses to a text page. And very important for me: You can go back to older versions of your written text when it is necessary. This feature is called ‘Revision’. And best of all: You can view all the interlinked items in the navigator which is comparable to PersonalBrain (but not so nice looking and powerful).

Even I have added more than thousand topics to my ConnectedText file the application is still stable and I don’t have the feeling to be lost.

I am using ConnectedTest for:

note taking
research
drafting of concepts (eBusiness, CRM)
bookmark manager
project / task / file manager
contact manager

I don’t want to urge you to test or use ConnectedText. I just wanted to let you know what I personally think of ConnectedText and how I am using it. There are a lot of other very good applications around I am still using for specific purposes: Zoot (managing C++ code snips -> I will move them to ConnectedText later this year), MindManager (brainstorming).

Here is the link to the website of ConnectedText:

The current version is 1.2.0.6. Version 1.5 will be realeased early in March with many new and interesting features (like docking the navigator on the left or on the right side).

Kind Regards,
Stefan
