NEW NOTE TAKERS TO SHARE
Ok, so here are a couple more note-taking apps to consider. The first actually came from a disgruntled poster on the Evernote Forum (truth is, there are a lot of those.) He said:
By the way, o good evernoters community, did you ever hear of a product called MyInfo (see http://www.milenix.com/). It's an amazing product which adds a OneNote-like organisation over the EverNote-like categories. Kinda best of both worlds, even though the produc lacks the Tablet PC Ink support.
And maybe, maybe... Well, maybe they live in a country far away where the good people care about their customers and deliver new versions on a monthly basis with new features and can then expect to draw confidence and mindshare, which basically means market share and survival. Oh well...
You have to excuse the sarcasm. This is from a post to a brand new user. I think you have to be really p****d off to hang around a forum just to discourage new members. Still, I downloaded MyInfo yesterday and did a small project with it. I don't see that it offers a lot of new functionality, though, if Evermike or Devf are reading this, you should both take a look at the clever way they managed to implement tags and notes. Also, Devf, you should look at how clean the interface is capable of being. I would love it if Surfulator had the ability to shift between its normal interface and a completely clean interface at will. (I know, I know, I will go post the suggestion on the Surfulator forum :)

http://www.milenix.comAnother interesting piece of software we should look at is the Literary Machine
http://www.sommestad.com/lm__index2.htmThis one is really interesting. I actually looked at this as a writer's tool some years back, but I found it a little cumbersome at the time. Of course, at the time we hadn't yet heard of the millenium bug :tellme:. I guess it was more years back than I thought. :(
Nowadays, my computer is faster and the software is a lot better, even in the freeware version which hasn't been updated for a few years. This is really a "drop it into the hole and organize it later" type of program. Pretty much an open form relational database. I have to say that I remember far less about it than I thought I would, but I am studying it. It has a steeper learning curve than I might like, but it seems really capable. It might be that this would bridge the gap between Evernote and actual writing, especially if Evernote ever actually releases the next update featuring drag and drop in and out.
Oh, yeah, I should point out that this is a REALLY mouse intensive program :(. I will write a mini review after I have had a bit more time to play with it.
