Is your data kept separate or do you use the same repository?

Could I ask why you would run ConnectedText, Onenote, Tinderbox, theBrain and Curio, when they all seem to overlap somewhat in functionality? I’m also really interested to know how you delineate what goes into which app and how, if at all you connect information?

I’ve long wanted to use ConectedText, but am worried about disconnecting information from my mac. The more apps I use the more I have to think what I put where!
