Personal Brain information organizer
Have you seen PersonalBrain? It's a fascinating application that runs under Windows, OS X, and Linux. It lets you organize "thoughts" -- and a "thought" can be a file, a shortcut, a copy of a file, a link to a website, or its own entity -- into an unlimited network.
What makes PersonalBrain (PB) different from, say, a file manager, is that a thought can be connected to any number of other thoughts. So you can connect people to other people from the same company, but also connect the same people to other people in their family, as well as to clubs or sports teams to which they may belong.
Everything can be labeled. Everything can be tagged. Links can also be labeled, tagged, and customized in terms of thickness and color.
You can drag pictures into your Brain(s).
There is a fast and powerful search function, that can reach out beyond PB and your hard drive to find stuff on the web.
You can export Brains as functional html pages. You can zip them up and move them around. You can have enterprise-level Brains that interact with personal Brains.
I've been tracking the unfolding of this product for many years. It has now reached a point of maturity where I think it will add a lot to my personal organization toolkit.
There is nothing like it for organizing information for your book. You can actually do clustering/mindmapping within it, and link to sources and other stuff.
An amazing product. Check it out at thebrain.com
