ConnectedText v5
10/22/2011

I actually have the CT files in a Dropbox folder, for my own access from several PCs and I think this works fine, so I'll test granting others access as well. Unfor...
Team solutions #1: Text development
10/22/2011
Most of the topics here focus on _Personal_ outlining and information management, but several of us have mentioned, on various occasions, the need for team collaboration. Indeed, in my own daily opera...

ConnectedText v5

Eduardo,
I understand that Connected Text has been developed as a _personal_ wiki, but I wonder whether it allows for team use, e.g. via a shared network or Dropbox folder.
I'm not contemplating co...
Intelligent parsing of messages?
10/18/2011
I'm looking for a 'simple' program that could parse my messages posted on Yammer --a sort of basic activity journal entries- and organise them by tags/dates for further use. My entries are of the foll...

Evernote + Scrivener to write a book?
10/13/2011
Vince, I have very little experience with Scrivener, but it clearly fits the bill of a writing oriented program that I suggested could complement Evernote (in the other thread). It sounds like an exce...

Storybook 3.0 review
10/12/2011
Pavi, thanks!
I actually posted my suggestion via the developer's website and got a positive reply; I'm glad that it wasn't just PR :-)
Let me say that I'd be very happy to suggest specific ideas an...

The other well-known concept mapping platform is Compendium http://compendium.open.ac.uk/institute/
Interestingly, all three (Cmap Tools, Compendium and VUE the most recent entrant) have been develop...
Beta of TheBrain 7.0 released
10/3/2011
I first used and registered PersonalBrain 10 years ago; at the time, the space-like interface and ability to link anything to anything seemed like the panacea to my info management needs. Yet after ve...

Dropbox has become a de facto standard for many people working from various locations like myself; I personally also use also Nomadesk which provides integrated encryption.

ConnectedText v5

Eduardo,
I'm posting an issue with Connected Text here, as it might be of interest to other forum members considering purchasing CT. I don't expect a quick answer, so don't worry if you see this af...
Storybook 3.0 review
10/1/2011
I'm also running Windows 64-bit and had no trouble installing.
