WhizFolders vs Scrivener for Windows
11/28/2011
And there is also the issue of cost/benefit. Given the price of the de lux version of Whizfolders (or at least what I paid for it), I wasn't compelled to keep getting it upgraded. The new licensing re...

Google dropping Wave
11/23/2011
I might be wrong but I thought Google's main error was that the Wave didn't show up in the Google header alongside mail, calendar etc. I did want to use it but I kept forgetting that it existed. They ...

I agree with Pavi. There is also Citavi and Endnote and others. We have now p...
ActionOutline at 'bitsdujour'
11/21/2011
Considering that Noteliner is available for free and so it has become a kind of a benchmark, my question would be: What does ActionOutline offer over and above Noteliner that is worth $20?

Great! Thanks for that, Chris.
Thanks Chris. Would it be possible to put a link into the header (or the left pane) on both forums to the other forum? It would just save a few clicks...
Cheers!
Carrot,
I'd challenge the assumptions in your question: 1) that there are "best tools and workflow techniques" that one could just adopt one-for-one, and 2) that one single integrated tool would be b...

Debunking the "1,000 hours of practice" myth
11/12/2011
Interesting points, Chris. I suppose I linked concentration to productivity in my post because I find that the two are related in some complicated ways. Yes, if you don't concentrate (because you lack...

Outliner/PIM roll call: Fall 2011
