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!
