Hello all,
having read nearly all posted topics in this forum, I really wonder that whizfolders ( http://www.whizfolders.com) doesn’t appear to capture more attention.
After one month of working with connected text, I decided to change to whizfolders that combines the flexibility of a wiki and the hierarchical structure of an outline. Both elements are, as I suppose, indispensable for effective information processing and organization.
As a lawyer, I need clear structures but, on the other hand, different items have to be connected one to another. When working with connected text, a topic easily grew up to 10 pages or more, so it was difficult to build a consistent tree - structure that could allow me to deal with that mass of information.
On the other hand, pure outliners do not allow to interconnect topics one to another.
Whizfolders even allows to link words in an item commentary to other words. For doing that in connected text, I had to make an “anchor” what I found a little annoying on the long run.
