At last -- my review of ConnectedText as an outliner

In a standard wiki (if such a thing exists), hyperlinks would be the number one means of providing structure to and navigating among your notes. In ConnectedText, however, there are so many other ways to get around your information and for creating structure that it somewhat obviates the need for these links.

This is important to me, because I need to stop myself from creating a link every chance I get. Linking everything possible is neither necessary nor productive in my view. I’m not suggesting that links should be avoided altogether or anything like that. More that links should be used judiciously to take advantage of CT’s other features, and where the quick access to the connected note would be of value. (I should state that I’m talking about using CT as a personal information or project manager, not as a reference archive, where links would be of more value.)

I’m curious about what others think about linking; what hyperlinking practices make sense to you?
