maybe it's being updated 

Just tried it and I'm not having any problem.

If you are still having problems, I can send it to you by email.

Thanks very much for the offer. Eventually wondered if it might be an Opera issue and switched to Firefox and that worked. Means your site is not completely compatible with Opera. At least I did not have to resort to ie.

Here's yey another one:
http://www.debriefnotes.com/

free, $29, and $39 versions.

It's based on the index card idea, seems to be good for bibliography management (not as good as endNote, no interaction with word). Does contacts, reading lists , etc

Outliner seems pretty good.

Hi All,

This may have been mentioned before to sorry if it has. Have a look here http://www.mind-mapping.org/ and feast your eyes on a massive list of note-taking software, knowledge management and information organising software. Some of it is free and some commercial. I hope this helps.

Awesome list!  Wow, look at all the options, that's ridiculous.  Maybe there's something better than MindManager out there for Mind Maps.  Sometimes, I feel like MindManager is lacking certain things, but the only other one I was aware of was Freemind, which is worse (although free).

Hi,

You can find concept mapping software from the link I posted above, but if you don't wish to trawl through all of the site to find what you are after then try here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_concept_mapping_software.

The one that I recommend is Compendium which can be found here: http://www.compendiuminstitute.org/ and is supplied by the Open University here in the Uk for free.

Hope this helps.

I've been playing with SQLNotes a little more seriously the past two weeks.  I think this is going to be a very revolutionary program.  I was never an Ecco user, so maybe that's why it feels so new and fresh to me, but even so, this program is going to be very powerful.  As a notetaker, it's not really what you expect (at least I didn't), but once I understood how the program works, it really can function perfectly well as a notetaker.  Furthermore, it could do tons of other things, but not in a Ultra Recall or Info Select sort of way where they just bundle a whole bunch of different features into one program.  In SQLNotes, everything is essentially one database, and the user controls how the information is displayed.  In other words, it allows you to create your own notetaking program just the way you want it.  It's very powerful, very flexible, and unique (based on Ecco).

I'm excited about the program and it's official release (it's beta right now).  Another great thing about it is the author is very nice, very active with it's development, and there's no danger of losing your data in the future because of a proprietary format, because all of the data can be exported to a general format (I don't know exactly what, but it's true).

Yeah, I have to agree about Evernote still being very useful for dumping notes into.  you just can't beat it's search and speed for finding.  Of course, Evernote's weakness is SQLNotes' strength: organization.  It's difficult to organize (but very easy to find) content with Evernote and vice-versa for SQL.  But, at the rate Pierre is developing SQL, who knows what's in store there.

I just love how easy it is to search inside evernote, so fast!  And it actively highlights and has search-as-you-type (see my blog).  That's awesome.

You are quite right that this aspect of SQLNotes does need improvements It should be as simple as: Select text in your browser > right-click > Send as a new item, or > Append to the current item

@ superboyac and Armando: Thank you both for such encouraging words.

@ superboyac: The SQLNotes grid does have a search-as-you-type mode. It is called auto-search. Check it out! Also Filter-as-you-type is coming soon

The auto-search is cool.  The difference with Evernote's search is that evernote will search all text in the database, not just the first word like the auto-search seems to.  Also, as each letter is typed in evernote, any item (note, in their case) that doesn't match the search disappears from the list, so all that is left is a short list of matching items with all the matching terms highlighted.  If your auto-search gets to this level, it would be amazing.  Maybe that's what your filter-as-you-type will do, I'm not sure.

It's a little more complicated with SQL because there are so many more things to search.  In evernote, there's just the notes.  With SQL, there's going to be all the fields, the different grids, the html pane.  So will a filter-as-you-type search all of those things?  Or just the fields?  Ideally, you can customize how the filter works.

Thanks for the info, Pierre.  That looks amazing.  Truthfully, I don't expect SQL to match Evernote just because SQL has so many more things to search.  Basically, Evernote is searching its database which consists of just notes (which would be analogous to the HTML pane content in SQL).  But besides the HTML pane, SQL also has data in fields, multiple grids, further complicated by the fact that everything is organized into an outline with levels.  Evernote basically has one level of just notes.
So, the searching can't be the same for the two.  However, I think you are doing an excellent job coming up with innovative ways to search in SQL.

Also, SQL is so flexible, I can make a grid and call it "Evernote-replacement", and just dump notes in it without organizing them (all top level).  Then I can use your filter as you type to find anything in there.  So that one grid will essentially act like Evernote.  Will the filter-as-you-type be able to search the html pane?

>Will the filter-as-you-type be able to search the html pane?

The HTML pane uses a field just like all others (ItemHTML, a text field), but with a specialized editor. So yes it will work. A related field is ItemHTMLText which contains the text part of the HTML (without all the markup). I recommend using that one for searching since formatting markup will not get in the way.

Great!  That means I can use SQL as an Evernote replacement if I want.  This program continues to amaze me.

I can't answer that since I don't know anything about programming.  You'd probably have to make a FF extension like evernote does.  I will say one thing, Evernotes web-clipping extension is amazingly accurate.  A lot of webclipping programs are not very accurate, but Evernote does it right pretty much every time.
