From Brian Benzinger comes a comprehensive list of 50 websites that will help you write, take notes, and organize your life. Some real gems here, check them out. I used a couple of these plus a timeline tool to create an easy-to-update task-reporting tool
howm: Write fragmentarily and read collectively. * Tutorial // Tutorial is nice Howm is a note-taking tool on Emacs. It is similar to emacs-wiki; you can enjoy hyperlinks and full-text search easily. It is not similar to emacs-wiki; it can be combined with any format.
Our goal is to make it easier for people to collect, organize, find, visualize, and share their information. One of the biggest obstacles to such information management is the rigid, centrally-planned information models and user interfaces of existing applications and web sites. The data people use in the real world is rarely so well-formed. It is full of exceptions and idiosyncrasies. Our group develops tools for the web and desktop that can flex to hold and present whatever information a user considers important, in whatever way the user considers most effective.
Jot notes to yourself, and then create a URL, so you can retrieve the note, regardless of where you are. Share the URLs with your other selves, or with others.
