WebMynd is a Firefox extension its developers hope solves a common Web problem: finding again that which what you've already found. WebMynd adds two very useful functions to your browsing: site-by-site recording of where you've been, and integrating your history (plus Delicious bookmarks) into specific Google searches.
Webmynd finds what you've found.

The site-by-site recording creates a timeline view of your browsing and a photo browser-like display. Want the site you found Friday after lunch? Rewind using the Reel view. Looking for the site with the purple logo thing? The Grid view is good for your visual memory. Since you might not want a record of every site you visit, WebMynd lets you add sites to a permanent "do not record" list and zap specific site records.
There's a small performance hit using WebMynd--on the order of 100-200 milliseconds for complex site. WebMynd keeps your last 30 days worth of history.
While WebMynd's visual recorder is nice, I like every more the way it merges a relevant list of sites you've visited into each search you do in Google. You can also use WebMynd's to view Delicious bookmarks.
Webmynd merging Delicious into Google results.
In September, WebMynd will add Yahoo BOSS search results, a cleaner merge into your Google search results and other improvements, say its developers.
WebMynd is free. It will make money from premium services, not ads. Co-founder James Brady said that while there are plans to off...

I'm more than a bit skeptical of many of the online fads for staying organized, like 43 Things. They all seem to emphasize learning their system as much as using it, which does not inspire much confidence. WikidPad doesn't work that much differently, so I was hesitant to give it more than a second thought. What it does benefit from is the incorporated note-taking aspect, which links your work to your To Do list, and by an intuitive filtering system intuitive that helps you stay on top of stuff through a wiki lens.

Open-source, free, and cross-platform WikidPad works as any wiki does, and its as user-centric as possible because it's contained solely on your hard drive. It doesn't rely on or even offer the option of incorporating others into your work flow. And, as a powerful, auto-cross-referencing note-taking device, it seems to actually be all that it claims. Mac and Linux users should note that the installation is a bit more involved for their systems than it is on Windows machines.
One excellent advantage to WikidPad is that any word typed in CamelCase instantly becomes wikified. You can stop that with a forward slash, or create a title by adding in two pluses. Creating a bullet list is as simple as hitting the spacebar after an asterisk.
This isn't to say that WikidPad is easy to learn. Make no mistake, the learning curve is incredibly st...
