Notes in one place - Wrong?

I just noted from a giveaway sites that one of the “selling” points for one outliner software is “all your notes in one place”
I could not agree less, preferring to break it/them all into tiny re-useable bits. I have trialed many (very many!), evernote 2.0 being the best ? up-to to a point in time, then Keynote NF (and it would take me a long time to explain the why!).
For me it is not about all your notes / data in one place, but all your notes / data in the right place(s) ...the (s) is very deliberate.
I have now managed to arrange my build structure, data and notes in such way to achieve this (nearly!).
I do have aspiration to (one day) make this a product, but it appears that I need to (even get to the point of proving the principal) get hold of a win 32 developer, as I have (for thi PoP) a need to mess with Windows background services ?.and cannot (as yet) get hold of one (with such talent/knowledge) in the North of Scotland!
For now, I will console myself with that what I do works for me! It is for now a method of working, incorporating structure, notes and data?..and cloud (like GTD on heat).
We will see if I?m lucky enough to, one day, turn it into a project!

sorry for the question marks ? in funny places on the post…I wrote it late last night on word (to try to ensure my spelling was reasonable) and then simply pasted onto the post window and pressed send (post).

I couldn’t agree more. I have made a related point in the past here http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/3097/0/holy-grail-or-holy-grails
It would be great to know more about your approach.

I will now look at your posting to see if I can tell how you work/think.
The problem I have expanding on my “system” is I genuinely would like to make a product (not for the sake of money, but more for the project itself); I have not yet given up on getting a suitable developer involved. On reflection my post yesterday was probably a bit of a plea to this forum to see if such a dude was in this system and by reading my comments catch his/her attention.
I will look at your posting and see if my ideas and way of working would satisfy what I take as your methodology and requirements?..I haven?t yet looked at it properly to see what you said ....and do.

When I read Alexander’s linked post, I was amazed to see that he was actually using TEN different programs to manage his information. Is this the normal situation for other forum users?
