Cool article about metaphors for new information tools
UniAce | Dec 20 2005
Here's a very interesting article and a commentary on the article, both about metaphors and new ways of thinking about information tools: summary/commentary by Jean Graef of the Montague Institute: Article: "Interface Lift" by Amy Wohl, in IEEE Spectrum (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers): These seem to address (or at least touch on) what many of us would like to do (organize all the personal information in our lives so it's accessible and doesn't drive us crazY). One of the metaphors mentioned is "personal knowledge management programs." They point out an interesting looking new program called EverNote (no Mac version yet it looks like, but one is supposedly on the way). 1 Comment

I use it for capturing "reference" or "someday/maybe" information from the web. But you could also just use it for a place to keep those little snippets of potentially useful information that don't belong to a particular project and so defy your efforts to store them usefully. » POSTED IN:
