wikidPad is a Wiki-like notebook for storing your thoughts, ideas, todo lists, contacts, or anything else you can think of to write down. What makes wikidPad different from other notepad applications is the ease with which you can cross-link your information. Links in a wiki are created by typing in WikiWords. A WikiWord is any mixed case word typed into the editor. TodoList or JohnDoe are example WikiWords. The term wiki means "quick" in Hawaiian, and wikis are all about quickly linking your information together. Wikis are not a new concept, in fact there are many web based wiki servers available. wikidPad is a real-time wiki wikidPad is not a web server, or application server, or groupware solution. wikidPad is a standalone notepad like application, albeit notepad on steroids. wikidPad is like an IDE for your thoughts. IDE for your thoughts Software developers have grown accustomed to certain features from their integrated development environment that make their jobs easier. Features like auto-completion, outline views, incremental search, easy source code navigation. IDE's that provide these features can greatly increase developer productivity. wikidPad attempts to utilize some of these features to address the problem of personal information management. Personal Information Management How do you manage all of the random bits of information in your personal and professional life? Word documents, text files, Microsoft Outlook folders/notes. If you're an expert user maybe you have a weblog, or a personal database, or possibly an outlining application. Where do you track your wifes favorite food, your bosses kids names, your personal todo list, the name of the movie you just read a review of, the name of the book a friend recommended. wikidPad was created to address this issue of personal information management. It provides a place to manage the massive amounts of information you have stuffed in your head, on stickies, or on your computer.

Edit
this looks pretty good but I have not used it long. it is simple enough to get started with, maker a new link and you have a new page. you can use it like Evernote or One Note to collect and organize notes, links, or whatever you might be doing. you could also use it to create outlines, or brainstorm. Wikipad may not have the ability to integrate with with other programs the way Evernote and One Note can, but it is simple and clear to understand and work with.
WikidPad serves me very well for global notetaking and searching through my notes and ideas, for project management, and website wireframe prototyping. It also have great export to HTML feature, so I also store bookmarks in WikidPad and use them both on PC and on PDA and on smartphone. And, of course, great "clipboard catcher" feature helps in web research and notetaking.
Still cannot figure out how this works. Seems useful and someday I may figure it out.
I searched for years for a good application to manage my notes on everything. Finally I found WikidPad and it fulfilled nearly all my needs.
