What happens when you ask for the truth
11/13/2008
Jan, this business with Kinook is all too familiar, and sad.
These guys may be good with the technical side but they lack basic communication skills (to wit the help files and, now, this fiasco arou...
Q, I agree with you and Alexander that Surfulater has good potential to evolve in future. This perhaps seems ironic because Neville has said that Surfulater focuses on doing one thing well. And this a...

I posted the following in UR Is Dead before I realized it would fit better in this thread:
Jan and others, though I stopped using UR some time ago, I thought they had a going concern so I am somewhat...
Ultra Recall is DEAD!
11/1/2008
Jan and others, though I stopped using UR some time ago, I thought they had a going concern so I am somewhat surprised. However, I had noted the responses on the forum seemed less frequent than before...
Michael, I have yet to see Vista's search tool give instantaneous results on any computer. It is better than in previous Window versions...but still nothing to write home about.

Is a Semantic Web in Your Future?
10/20/2008
Stephen, I am not sure how to describe the Twine pages, other than saying each major topic area (or twine) provides a list of all material sent to that particular twine. You can also search across all...
Is a Semantic Web in Your Future?
10/20/2008
Re Twine, I don't see what you mean about tagging links.
I simply select a site on the web using the Twine button on my bookmark toolbar, designate which Twines (major topic areas) I want it sent to ...
Curio 5.0
10/20/2008
Stephen, just looked at the product web site, and Curio brings out the CRIMPing instinct.
CRIMP appears to be a well conceptualized program elegantly executed.
Now all I need is a Mac!

Curio 5.0
10/20/2008
I'm using mind maps more than in past - for me the advantage they give over a conventional tree is an ability to place items in different formats, using different map types, and this can make it easie...
I have tried Surfulater 3. It is a good, solid program. http://www.surfulater.com/index.html
It does a better than ever job of making web clips. I'm moving back to Surfulater for that reason, having ...
Is a Semantic Web in Your Future?

Chris, is that with both programs -- Freebase and Twine?

Is a Semantic Web in Your Future?
10/8/2008
An alternate title for this post could have been Freebasing with the Twine That Binds.
Many of us here started with the first out lining programs, and followed the progression of software as it becam...
Webspiration from Inspiration
9/19/2008
Stephen, I had noted that also -- yet what attracts me to this program is that for a web-based mind mapper -- or a web-based outliner -- it seems advanced of anything I have seen yet in either categor...
PDF to Word Now on Giveaway of the Day
9/19/2008
There have been times I am frustrated with PDF documents, and wish there was an easy way to convert them to Word or Open Office.
There may have been programs out there all along I wasn't familiar wit...
Webspiration from Inspiration
9/18/2008
Just found out -- and can't remember whether it has been noted here -- that the Inspiration folks have a new web-based mind map and outline tool. I have just signed up so cannot recommend. However, fo...
All Task Information in One Place
8/23/2008
I like to keep my task data in my Moleskine.
However, it is good to be able to have all computer data accessible in one spot.
I am leaning toward IDEA, but am suspicious because it is so long since ...
SQL Notes
8/2/2008
Pierre, I see you came out yesterday with a new update of SQL notes. I tried to click through to the notes on the update, but was able to get the page to load.
Can you let us know what the changes, e...
Jan, do you see it as a sign of trouble -- I would have thought UR had good market share, and this is a way to increase user base rapidly. Mind you, they have done this at least once before -- is that...
GemX's Classy Reply to Daly's Questions
6/26/2008
The other day, in response to GemX's sale and a response to a post I had written, I started a thread called "Is GemX another ADM?"
I sent a copy of what I wrote in that thread as part of a note to Ge...
Is GemX Another ADM?

I n my request on GemX Products on Sale, I received the following response from Mike, for which I thank him a great deal:

6/22/2008
Graham, when you talk about internal disagreements in which the software was taking, what are you referring to -- is there some specific intel on the Arnie and Eric show. I suspect you're right, but ...
New Opera and Firefox 3
6/22/2008
Offtopic, I know -- but am wondering whether anyone has experience with the latest Opera and Firefox versions?
I've just got back from two weeks away so haven't had a chance to try much new.

GEM-X Products on Sale
6/22/2008
I have downloaded the latest Do-Organizer trial.
It appears quite comprehensive, and everything seems to be linkable so as to make related information immediately accessible.
Is there a downside to ...
Surfulater competitor?
6/2/2008
Pierre, actually bro I think you have done a pretty good job based on what I saw on your web site in terms of a getting started package.
I think the simple/complicated dichotomy is more apparent th...
Folks, I know that sounds like a silly subject line.
But I started to play with the latest release of SQLNotes, inspired by the getting started file on the web, and a sample file provided with SQL No...
