Organizing with NoteTaker My bias toward software increasingly goes like this: If it's not blatantly obvious in its user interaction, forget it. One thing is obvious, after spending a day with it: I haven't begun to get very deep into this tool, and there's a fairly serious learning curve to get the most from it. But after spending some time with NoteTaker, I've tentatively decided to use the software to help organize a book I'm writing, and probably everything else, too. A perfect product? Far from it. The user interface is fairly intuitive, but some of the menus aren't, for example, and I get confused moving around inside the various notebooks, tabs and outlines. But the company, according to a well-informed friend who's been using NoteTaker, is responsive to suggestions. I've started to play around with this tool also. It took a little bit to figure out how to add a new page but it seems like a real good tool for a "pile" guy like I am. [Dan Gillmor's eJournal] 6:42:37 PM
