This is exactly where Zoot excels. While I agree with Stephen that Brainstorm is unsurpassed in many of its overall functioning as a brain storming application and for organizing thoughts, to me Zoot has it beat for the purpose of collecting random information and making sense of it later because Zoot allows meta-data and has powerful filtering through smart folders.

The good news is that Zoot and Brainstorm are very compatible products, since both use plain text and both have easy processes for importing and exporting material. I’d collect and organize the information in Zoot, then export it—using Brainstorm’s magic paste function—to Brainstorm to mold it into a coherent narrative.
