1. Allows outlining of your research papers and courses (but no
cloning).
2. Uploads collection of outlines, called NoteBooks, to your website
so that students and colleagues can keep track of what you are doing
(no collaboration or comments).
3. Simple writing module (but no full screen or citation manager).
4. Adds keywords (similar to tags) but not able to DISPLAY multiple
keywords or tags for each item (like Gmail or Google Reader).
5. Prints graceful PDFs (no TeX or KeyNote export like OmniOutliner).
6. Presents templates especially Cornell notes that help you and
students take more efficient and analytical notes on readings.
7. Imbed audio and video files.
8. Finds anything well
9. Imbed To Do's that are available system-wide in the Mac (but cannot
do recurring events).
10. Simple vector drawing ability (but no mind-mapping).
Conclusions: A year ago, I used NoteBook extensively to organize my
teaching and writing. I abandoned it because of slow improvements. In
the last week, I've returned to it to see if it would make my teaching-
writing process more streamline. Without mind-mapping, recurring
events, or citation management it is hard to say how long I will keep
using it. Nevertheless, it is probably the most elegant and gorgeous
application I've encountered. Mac Users: download the Demo and let me
know. Windows Users: What can OneNote do that this can't? Everyone:
There is a video tour at the circus ponies website. (www.circusponies.com

Neither do I
