askSam vs. Zoot? and vs. others 10/6/2013

Armin, I follow the Zoot group, and can confirm that developer Tom Davis is indeed very responsive. Responsive in this case means more than simpy answering postings in the group - often when a bug is ...

Clones? Cross-referencing? 10/6/2013

I believe WhizFolders has a good linking system. It seems pretty comprehensive.

Zoot XT and Evernote 9/29/2013

There's an excellent discussion at https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?zx=1dam86dyqvy3h#inbox/1415fedbb730ffdb called Zoot and Evernote. The discussion deals with a theme of growing importance on the Z...

"personal productivity" stackexchange - inquiry about outliner with formula support 9/27/2013

Alexander, documentation may have grown. But different strokes for different folks. I continue to find the documentation daunting, and slight (as in cases where you hit a link and the result is basic...

askSam dead? 9/11/2013

I think of AskSam the same way I thing of InfoSelect. When I moved into the Windows world in 2002 I soon became familiar with both programs. I bought IS at one point, discovering it didn't behave ve...

Better Bookmarking? 8/26/2013

About six months ago I started using Linkman Pro - it is the fastest, most comprehensive bookmarking tool I have found. http://www.outertech.com/en/bookmark-manager Daly

Is a Semantic Web in Your Future? 8/21/2013

Alexander, I just looked at Pearltrees, and very quickly opened an account, so I've only spent a few minutes with it. However, I'm curious to know how you think it compares to Digg, Stumbeupon, Chime...

Now Catch is discontinued 8/9/2013

Alexander, I was most disappointed when Twine closed down. However, Twine did provide advance notice, and instructions on how to download data. What was most unfortunate about Twine is that Nova Sp...

Best Apps for the Nexus 3/7/2013

I just bought a Nexus 7, and wonder if anyone has suggestions as to good apps. While I will use it primarily for reading - books, newspapers, and magazines - I will no doubt do some note-taking and w...

Document Management Systems 1/26/2013

Gary, I don't if this would be helpful or not, but I have recently decided to shift my pdf file management from Mendeley to qiqqa - both are free programs. http://www.qiqqa.com/ (qiqqa is pronounced ...

The ultimate outliner 1/16/2013

I agree with just about all of the features. In terms of a program which I think is becoming increasingly elegant and very flexible, I think of Noteliner - http://www.noteliner.org/ . Here is a brie...

Writing Software for Writers 12/29/2012

I bought WhizFolder b/c of its ability to be in a single pane mode. However, I was disappointed at how that feature is implemented, and requested - and received promptly - a refund. I should like to ...

Search and 'hoist' text 12/25/2012

I would say don't consider askSam at all. It's fraught with problems, and pricey. Check the forums if they still have them up. Daly Jon Polish wrote: You should consider Ultra Recall. It can be a do...

Speaking of CintaNotes... 12/19/2012

Steve, I'm intrigued by CintaNotes. But I'm wondered if it's a case of CRIMP. I already use Evernote, which frustrates me because its information management features are few, and it doesn't allow me ...

Have you tried Ecco lately? you really ought to, you know. 12/16/2012

I am not sure how JimSpoon would "get that fixed," unless he is the group owner. And I'm not sure you'd really want the process change. I know the process is a bit of a pain. However, there's good...

Single-pane outliners 12/16/2012

Thanks to Alexander for mentioning Sense, and to Franz for providing the url. I have downloaded Sense, and in a few minutes only (rush to judgment coming!) I re-experienced what it was like to work w...

Single-pane outliners 12/16/2012

Alexander, do you have a url for Sense. I searched and found "sense" used in relation to a lot of software products, but couldn't find the Sense you were referring to. Thanks. Daly Alexander Deliya...

Demise of yet another PIM tool..... 12/15/2012

I trialed Knowledge Workshop a few times, the first such experience after KW was first released. The product was horrendously overpriced, and the sales copy for it banked heavily on the fact that uni...

Core distinguishing features of two-pane PIMs 12/10/2012

I'm not sure how many "old advanced outliners had to die away," although a few certainly have. Tags and cloning co-exist in MyInfo and UltraRecall, although the tag tree in Surfulater is unique. It ...

Scapple 11/27/2012

For that early stage of planning, brainstorming, what-have-you, I've found nothing works as well as paper and a few of my favourite fountain pens, well fueled with Noodlers ink. For some things, pen ...

Better Memo - FastSpring 11/20/2012

I bought BetterMemo yesterday at good on BduJ The developer uses FastSpring to process orders. I wondered how it would compare with DigitalRiver, especially in terms of using exchange rates as an exc...

which solution do you suggest? 11/9/2012

Remus looks interesting, but there appears to have been no activity on development for more than a year. Does anyone know the status of the project? Thanks. Daly MadaboutDana wrote: >Having another ...

Surfulater Blog Posts - In the Cloud etc. 11/1/2012

Neville, thanks for the discussion post on Surfulator. My preference is for a Surfulator that resides both in the cloud and on my two computers, and is capable of being synchronized. The need remain...
