Oh dear, I see what you mean. The merchandising of information. 'Twas ever thus...
Oops, I tell a lie. Online it may be, but it also uses mobile apps (iOS, Android) rather ingeniously so you can photograph/scan URLs or book barcodes with your device and regenerate them immediately i...
Looks quite interesting, albeit solely available online:

Evernote and "The Wall Street Journal"

We also work as a distributed team. Using four platforms: Skype (for IM), Soonr (for synchronising files between all members of the team), Kerio Workspace (run as an intranet on an in-house server, bu...
Thanks, Yosemite, I'll take a look (haven't really finished playing with 4 yet, but still...)
I have to agree. As one who only recently transferred to Mac and worked on PC for years previously, I'm actually quite surprised by how little software the two platforms have in common. There's been a...
Evernote and "The Wall Street Journal"

I think Paul's hit it on the head here. I have independently taken precisely the same approach, which is why I ceased using a number of otherwise pleasant and enjoyable task management apps that requi...

I kind of see what you're saying, Hugh, but in fact, I think folder-based info management is going to become more rather than less popular.
For example: I use Documents on iPad to view my Dropbox doc...

Ah, yes, I don't think OneNote will like 2000 entries in a single section! But you can use sections as the equivalent of tags (especially if you use multi-sections, or whatever they call 'em).
It doe...

I KNOW I have more than 2000 items in my main DEVONthink 'General Research' database. No signs of instability there.

Hm, that is interesting. I have a lot of stuff in my OneNote databases; not sure if that's up to 2000 items or not, but I'd have thought so. I must go and do some testing.
I'm using: OneNote for Mac,...

Well, dang! Those multiple options for Clibu sound highly desirable! I'd love to be able to run an in-house server, for example; very convenient.
Go for it, Neville!

You've not mentioned the fact that Clibu is also language-friendly (which Surfulator definitely wasn't!).
But the pervasive Cloud model has, I'm afraid, caused me to back away. Like others here, I li...

I would definitely steer clear of Aquaminds products for the time being. Too many reviews bitterly lamenting lost data/failed synchronisation. It's a shame, because the products have potential. But de...

Sharing how exactly, Daly? Across which platforms?
My first impulse is to suggest Notebooks, but that doesn't run on Android. It runs on Windows, Mac and iOS, and is a better repository than Evernote...
Yet another Markdown editor...

I think what I like most about LightPaper is its flexibility: it's got more or less ALL the features of other editors, but you can choose which ones to toggle on/off.
For example, I like the inline s...
Scrapbook as the ultimate piece of software?
11/22/2014
Ditto; I hadn't heard of Scrapbook X. Very tempting, but I use DEVONthink to capture web pages now, and don't really want to move away from Safari (Chrome has a big memory hit on MacBooks).
I really can't think of any (not across both platforms). It's a shame you're not in the world of Mac... ;-)
Thinking laterally, you could try Softmaker Office. They have a very nice spreadsheet app t...

Alas not, FoldingText uses internal cunning to interpret a bullet-point list appearing after a special .todo extension as a list of tasks.
By "support" I really mean, is compatible with the GitHub fl...
Yet another Markdown editor...
11/21/2014
And a very nice one. In fact, it's suddenly become my number one favourite on the Mac!
It's called LightPaper, and it's currently free. It's extremely flexible: it has a navigation pane that shows a ...
At first, I thought the agenda was rather limited. But in fact, if you start playing around with items in the agenda, you soon find they're very flexible. For example: if you create an item with a dat...
Just been checking out moo.do. It's a very professional piece of work.
It does do little triangle 'fold' indicators, in fact, but you have to pass your mouse over a parent item to see them. The iOS a...
Anyone heard of Quirkos?
11/19/2014
Thanks for that, Dr. Dan. I'd be delighted to pop into Edinburgh and meet up.
Meanwhile, it might be worth launching a version for personal use? Mid-priced, as it were. Just a thought...
Cheers,

Hi Michael,
Thanks for posting! When I open it, I find Goozzee is a lot less complex than it looks in screenshots. It's actually quite light on its feet! I shall play more next week (once current pro...
