• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:20 AmberCadabra i think i'm getting that plurktarded syndrome LOL
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:25 acnatta says yeah MackCollier, I'm all about evernote.com
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:26 AmberCadabra evernote looks interesting! I'm going to try it out but gonna have to upgrade my OS if i want to use the desktop version
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:26 acnatta says yeah, it sucks that I can't use it on the Mac except as the web version
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:28 DebInDenver says I use google notebook. Have tried out EverNote, but it's not as helpful as GN which fits in the bottom right side of browser.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:29 acnatta says I really love OneNote but it's nice to have the web access of evernote (and the ability to use it on both Mac and PC)
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:30 acnatta says its the same as Notebook, but it's a little more flexible (to me at least)
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:30 acnatta says though I've got tons of friends who swear by GN
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:31 DebInDenver says I've never tried OneNote, will take a look at it.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:32 AmberCadabra I'm going to try out GN and evernote and see which one i gravitate toward. Thanks!
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:34 Teeg uses scribefire, google notebook, and Instapaper (an app doshdosh recommended).
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:35 miketempleton I either add links to del.icio.us or email myself, but I have a hard time actually going back and looking at stuff I've sent.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:37 servantofchaos says that is actually what my blog is about ... it is an idea scrapbook
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:40 AmberCadabra Gavin, i subscribe and love your stuff. Now i need to get it over to where all the other ideas live LOL

  July 01, 2008 at 02:43 AmberCadabra i love my notebook, too, but am just getting TOOO overwhelmed.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:44 acnatta says the guys at standarddeluxe.com make some cool notebooks too
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:46 KDFrawg says I keep a text file with just raw ideas. As they unraw, I move them into a file structure.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:47 robyn says AmberCadabra This is a great thread, thanks for posting it, have wondered also how everyone else manages it!
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:48 DebInDenver says servantofchaos I love the Blog Spectrum!

• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:50 acnatta says they are great AmberCadabra
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:50 KDFrawg says I just sorta find that a disk folder structure is perfect. A folder for every book, a folder of every blog, etc.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:51 AmberCadabra i suppose it all depends how you categorize things in you mind. for me, it's ideas for blog posts, then ideas for my own biz
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:51 KDFrawg says Subfolders for raw ideas and research, etc.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:51 AmberCadabra then strategies i can learn about to better my work for my clients
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:52 AmberCadabra so i basically need a dumping ground where i can sort through stuff later and not have to search for it
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:52 KDFrawg says Las thing every night, I spend some time moving raw notes to the file structure. Sounds complicated, but it isn't.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 02:57 acnatta says I also use FreeMind too for the stream of consciousness and flow chart type stuff
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:07 KDFrawg says Freemind is cool for brainstorming and visualizing connections. I love it.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:08 AmberCadabra thanks for all your suggestions, guys! I may have to aggregate these into a blog post.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:09 acnatta says I would think that this was a Plurkshop as well tonight...
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:10 KDFrawg says Is there a regular Plurkshop tonight?
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:10 AmberCadabra so far I'm finding Evernote really easy. The Google Notebook plugin is acting fravitzy on me
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:12 DebInDenver says oh, do you have FF3? I think there is a bug for it, sorry! I forgot about that. I know they are aware and trying to fix it.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:13 acnatta thinks sometimes the best Plurkshops are the ones that we just stumble into - though there may have been one scheduled...
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:13 AmberCadabra I do have FF3. Thanks for the heads up - i'll take another look when it's unbuggy
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:13 acnatta says don't give up on it yet then AmberCadabra
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:13 DebInDenver says sorry about that! It works reeeaaallly! I'll let you know what I hear.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:15 AmberCadabra no worries! I'll give it another shot
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:15 KDFrawg says I love evernote! And it is out of beta as of today!
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:16 KDFrawg says he agrees with acnatta. This one has been great, although I got here a little late.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:17 DebInDenver says hey. I tried that blog network app on Facebook and had to enter 5 blogs to follow, so I entered yours and mack's. Also Miss Attitude's.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:18 AmberCadabra I gotta try that thing. it's on the list LOL
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:20 DebInDenver says well, you are on there now. I am so bad about this stuff. Tell me about and I have to sign up. I have so many beta invites!
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:21 AmberCadabra did someone link to the FB app already? I can't find it.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 03:22 DebInDenver says ProBlogger did and I re-plurked his post, let me find the link.

  July 01, 2008 at 04:02 Jane Chin until you do, ambercadabra, here's an alert on your topic at plurkaholics.com www.plurkaholics.com/keeping-track-of-all-your-stuff/

  July 01, 2008 at 04:13 johnrhopkins says oldschool method of emailing myself. Always with the same subject start so I can find them later in gmail
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 05:03 Jane Chin johnrhopkins I've done that! Then create email filter to automatically file idea piles etc.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 05:07 KDFrawg says Sometimes I call myself and leave messages.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 05:07 codyrobert says janechin i've emailed myself many times and it usually starts out with a compliment to myself
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 05:13 callkathy loves OneNote... but you probably knew that already. Shared notebooks rule!
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 05:13 johnrhopkins is embarrased to say that I once called myself and left a message... forgot about it and briefly wondered who's voice it was on the message.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 05:14 johnrhopkins is sure alcohol was involved. The fact that I'm unsure probably proves it.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 05:32 Jane Chin codyrobert that is an amazing idea. next time i'll start by complimenting myself in all the emails i send to myself

  July 09, 2008 at 16:08 MatthewBennett likes evernote for random notes about my projects and diigo for annotating web articles, and my blog.
• 
  July 09, 2008 at 17:09 DebInDenver says evernote, formally google notebook (wah!) I also just put new blog posts in blogger with notes in the body and go back to write later
