Animist Notes is a web service for taking notes. Lots of notes.
There are millions of bits of information
that you might want to remember,
but using technology to store that info is usually more trouble than it's worth.
Animist Notes reduces this problem to just two steps: adding notes
and searching notes. No
hierarchies. No sorting. No filing. No overhead. It doesn't matter
whether you have 10 notes
or 10,000,000 notes — Animist Notes will still be effortless to use.
Here are some high-concept descriptions of Animist Notes:
- Google for your brain
- A private bookmarking/clipping service
- The 'long tail' of personal databases
- A private blog
- A 'junk' blog
- A knowledge management tool
- (For the GTD geeks) a bucket for all those disparate, non-actionable
bits of information that take too long to sort, label and file
- A place to download all those details clogging up your brain,
so you can focus all your mental juggling skills on
what you are currently doing
- A front line defense against the modern stress of information overload
