Organizers

Organizing stuff - neat and tidy

"Organizing is the act of rearranging elements. Anything is commonly considered organized when it looks like everything has a correct order or placement.

But it's only ultimately organized if any element has no difference on time taken to find it. In that sense, organizing can also be defined as to place different objects in logical arrangement for better searching."
- Wikipedia

In short; you organize to make it easier to find again

Folder structure - tree structure Do you like to organize and re-organize your files, folder and documents ? Do you like to arrange and re-arrange all your stuff so that it is always "neat and tidy" ?

If you do, PpcSoft iKnow may not be the right tool for you. Or maybe it is....

The original 18th-century French Encyclopédie used a tree diagram to show the order of the subjects. The tree structure is widely used for things like the Dewey Decimal System, folders in computing, the usenet hierarchy and organizational structures.

The downside of tree structures is that is takes a lot of work to structure the information, and it is not always obvious how you should classify each item in the tree. Also, as you get lots of items and the tree gets deeper (many sub-levels) it becomes harder to navigate and actually find what you're looking for.

Many information tools use the tree structure as it is a very useful organization technique (if you're disciplined). Other tools organize using notebooks, sections, subsections, pages and subpages etc.

Most people find the use of folders and tree structure in MS Windows confusing and difficult, and many people struggle to find their files.

However, some people actually like to organize their data, and if they are disciplined they can usually find what they're looking for fairly quickly. If you are one of the disciplined people who wants to do this, then PpcSoft iKnow may not be for you.

PpcSoft iKnow does not use folders/subfolders or books/sections/pages, but simple notes (with a large amount of information, folder hierarchies, tags and mind maps won't scale). All notes are automatically listed alphabetically, and that's the only organization you have (and probably need). All you have to do is to name each note.

PpcSoft iKnow is based on the same principle as Wikipedia and Google: Search

PpcSoft iKnow will let you search for notes almost instantly, and if you don't remember the name of the note, you can search the full text of all the notes directly.
