I guess I don't understand the analogy in the title. How is workflowy any more "distributed" than a to-do list? I mean, instead of carrying around my notebook of ideas and to-dos, I put it all on workflowy. It seems like I've traded one centralized system for another. That's not to say that workflowy doesn't have advantages over a notebook, but the svn/git analogy is flawed in my opinion. Maybe if they'd compared other task management systems to cvs and workflowy to svn the version-control-system analogy would have fit better. EDIT: Grammar.
