Note organizing software

Question

I am looking for a Program to store important information (Mainly articles) in a way that is simple to organize and search .. When searching for such software I found WhizFolders,personal knowbase,and some others.. Do you have any recommendation ?

Answer 1

Look at these two questions as well:

• Knowledge Management - how do you keep track of ideas
• What is your notes taking tool

One is more search and organizationally oriented, the other more informal.

It seems as if at the moment OneNote, Evernote, and Wikis are the most prefered tools to do such.

Answer 2

Microsoft OneNote

or

Evernote

• desktop client (Windown and Mac OS X)
• smart phone client (iPhone, Windows Mobile and Palm Pre)
• web client

Answer 3

Tomboy is a pretty useful note organizer. I've never used it for storing multipage articles but it works well for the small tidbits of information I've used it for. I don't see why it wouldn't work for other uses as well. Its part of the Gnome project but its a .NET/Mono application and is available in a windows installer exe.

It has a built-in search engine. You give each note a name and if the contents of a note mentions the name of another note it automatically becomes a link to the other note. I've used it as a study guide for college courses. I'm note sure how it would work as a respository for writing a paper or a book. I never looked into exporting the notes to a word processor but I'm sure copy/paste works.

Of course the best feature of all is it's free.
