Info from AdSense

EASTGATE -- I often learn what is on the market by looking at advertisements pulled into my blog through AdSense. Since I often write about writing, AdSense serves information about Tinderbox, a nice Mac program for research and note-taking.

Tinderbox is effectively a relational database with a graphical user interface. It helps you write by displaying or mapping all the various levels of one's notes, as well as links to the Internet and other material.

The visual "box" of each note is also a file, so it can be saved into as well as moved around the screen. There is also a flowchart dimension to the program. If Tinderbox was coded for a PC, I would give it a go. It's priced at $145. It would help me manage the information overload brought about with the six modules that I teach by tracking the hundreds of Word documents I use during an academic term.
