Better Bookmarking?

I have been wondering if there is a better way to do bookmarking. I do two types right now.

I eventually settled on TeamworkPM which seemed to meet my needs well and was also affordable. If anyone would like to do an online session to see how I use it, let me know.
Project Management Software?

I am really miffed at Jerry.
He suggested ToDoList from Abstract Spoon and now I am totally hooked on it. But I really wanted a cloud-based solution so he messed me up!
Curse you, Jerry! :)

Online Mind Maps with Tables?
7/7/2013
When I do time management coaching, I like to use Mind Maps to give the student a visual map to follow and to capture our ideas.
I really like Xmind. One of my favourite features is the matrix which ...

Levels of service

Level of service is one of the things I test early when testing new software. No matter how much I like new software, if the developer isn't responsive, I can't take the risk of adopting the software ...

Project Management Software?

I have really ramped up the number of projects I am working on for both myself and my clients.
For some time I have used Gqueues, and I love the simple interface, but there is no time tracking.
What...
I use both mind mapping and outlining. I use mind mapping to take notes during coaching calls with clients. I find it is the fastest way to take notes and the visual aspect of it lets me quickly go fr...

Multiple Monitors

The ultimate outliner
