I gotta say, its approach to web-clipping makes for a lot of clarity when you view your collection. The fact it’s parked on a timeline really shows a natural selection of subject and thought processes,
It has a developed tag and mindmap function. But am still to get the best of using it to do any recall work with.
It’s purely web-content focussed, but it could be the other half to a Flamory style background knowledge builder!
I’d love to know your thoughts! I’ve been on board for a couple years now, and would love some insight to tools that work in the same vein.

Well, I wish their web site had a bit of clarity. The home page is less than helpful, and only by clicking a link tucked away at the bottom of the page entitled “Discover” do I actually find anything useful. While that link takes me to a working demo, it offers me no explanation or manual about how the program operates. Am I just missing something here, or are they expecting me to read their minds? Or do they want my email address before they will share anything with me? The web site may be current in style, but it lacks in any substance. And, there do not seem to be any reviews of them on the web. I going to pass for the moment.

Sure Ken,
You’ll find he’s a fairly accomplished developer with a good history of successful projects, But I do take your point. He’s pretty serious about information recall from memory jogs over trawling the actual information for instances of terms. I know I cant really sell it for him, its just a really handy web-clipper.

What are some of those successful projects? Knowing that might balance the initially negative impression of Wagbee. I sure do miss the days of ugly but information-rich websites for projects like these…

Perhaps I am just starting to show my age with a preference for a web site with information, but I just find it hard in this day and age to keep handing out my email address just to obtain basic information? I am glad to hear that he is an accomplished developer, and perhaps the site is attractive to his target audience, but I just do not have the bandwidth for researching a program that I am not even sure that I need. I do wish him luck and hope that he is able to reach his target market.
