I'm surprised he does not mention email. This is my personal knowledgebase. It keeps boatloads of receipts and travel reservations from years ago. It is available on all my computing devices. It's Gmail so it's easy to search and I don't have to spend time sorting it. I write notes and send them to myself just so I will have them in the email. Other people are also obsessive about keeping their old email so I can't possibly be alone in this regard.
Gmail nails most of the features on his list.
- jdmichal 11y agoI set up a filter on my Gmail that automatically tags emails from myself with "Notes". Extremely easy to add a note anywhere -- just email myself from my phone. Easy to search -- just add "in:Notes" to the criteria. Only thing it doesn't really cover is linking between notes. Though I wonder exactly how valuable that is anyway, when you have a powerful search available.
- hollerith 11y agoDo you know how to go from a message to the message's "parent" (the message that the message is a reply to)? I can't figure out how to do that in gmail.
- veidr 11y agoLast I checked, Gmail couldn't search the contents of attachments. That is a pretty show-stopping limitation for a "knowledge base"... have they fixed that?
