ConnectedText; any case studies?

Dr Andus, thanks for the reference to Manfred’s description of how he’s used CT.

I have no doubt, based on the reports of people such as Manfred, that CT is a phenomenal product, and that I could make really good use of it. Unfortunately, I cannot get my brain around how to use it. While I think part of my problem has to do with how the instructions for use are presented, I have come to realize that a major stumbling block is my inability to figure out how to begin using it. And that is not something unique to me and CT, but to any wiki program I have tried, and some other programs as well.

Recently I again trialed the product (fortunately I hadn’t already tried it on my current laptop).

Again, I’m unable to figure it out, although I have no doubt it could be a killer app for me.

I need someone to talk me through the initial stages of getting going with CT. If I had such a person, I’d gladly buy CT.

I suspect if there was a CT for Dummies book, that chunked everything down, and explained some of the implicit assumptions about working with wikis in general, and CT in particular, I’d be OK. But since Wiley hasn’t published such a book in the Dummies series, I need to be able to work with a live person.

That’s a lot to ask, I know.

But if anyone’s interested in such a process it could make some good blog copy for ExuberantEclectic.com - as well as the other person’s blog (if s/he had one). Or it could even become the basis for a joint proposal to Wiley for a CT for Dummies book.

Cheers,

Daly
