What am I missing RE DevonThink and VoodooPad?

Hi All -

I think I'm missing something about DevonThink and VoodooPad.

I really like what I read about DevonThink's smart searching, ie showing you related entries and such. But ... from what I've read it seems that DevonThink requires a fair amount of manual fussing about - organizing entries and replicants of entries into appropriate sub-sub-sub folders. Is that correct?

As for VoodooPad (and other such personal wiki's), man I really want to like this app, but I just don't see how I would use it. Again, it seems to require way too much manual fussing about with linking and cross linking my entries. Personally, it seems like wikis are better for shared knowledge repositories rather than a personal note-keeping system. That about right?

Thanks!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
