Note Taking Tips?
Adam Schoales | Sep 29 2007
I'm in my first year of university and trying desperately to come up with the best way to take notes on my mac... I've been looking into notae and yojimbo (I like the tagging features alot, but dislike that I can't put in pictures and such) but have heard good things about journler and devonthink. The problem with Notae (which I used today) is everything is in SQL databases which is going to make it difficult. Plus most of these apps REQUIRE you to make a new database file rather than a bunch of text files which it will database and collect, etc. I've also heard wiki's are a great way to take notes but have no clue how to do so on my mac. So please, if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I'm sure there are many like me who also would love to know any suggestions for great apps for us Univeristy kids. 105 Comments

 Nobody uses shared (wireless network) note taking?Submitted by Fast_man on October 1, 2007 - 10:01am.
I am not a student, but have used SubEthaedit at conferences. SubEthaEdit is a multi-user collaborative text editor. The ability for the group (or at least the part of the group with mac osX laptops) to co-operatively take notes is amazing. When someone does not understand the point made - drop a question in the notes and somebody will fill in the missing information. Voila - complete notes for later, with all the detail (and everything explained). The advantage for me is that i don't have to take all the notes and can pay more attention to the lecture. What you do after class to organize the notes is a whole separate issue. » POSTED IN:
