Dave Pollard's on going discussion of howpersonal knowledge management should work...by duplicating much of how we shuffle papers and interact with our physical environment. I've come to view blogging as a personal knowledge management tool...and I prefer the opposite - less like my physical workspace, and more reliance on software tools to organize and search information. I frequently search my blog for links and resources. Better structure, filing, and cross-platform (i.e. functionality independent of opening a particular software tool as Dave proposes) are great for "right now" work...but most of my content is "back then". I need a better "now" work environment...but more importantly, greater direct (not hierarchical) access to previous content.
