I am intrigued by Notefrog—perhaps enough to register it today.

I am currently trialling the CintaNotes beta (http://cintanotes.com/) and the two programs obviously share many of the same aims. And although CintaNotes is free in beta, the RTF version will be shareware on release.

I must say I prefer the CintaNotes interface. I’m not a great fan of funky icons and non-standard interfaces. Why bother?

I also prefer the traditional approach to tags in CintaNotes as opposed to the wiki-style “stick-‘em-anywhere-and-make-it-up-as-you-go-along” approach in NoteFrog.

But both products are going in the right direction, and I think both deserve support. I just wish a large software house with serious resources would throw some money at this product area. I understand there may not be huge profit in it—it’s hardly a mass market—but it would be a prestige product that would earn good PR for the company that got it right.
