Reviews

If you’re like me, you’ve got many applications on your Mac.

Over the past two years, I have tried many applications to help me with the sheer number of applications I use.

The one that I use the most often is Mac OS X’s own SpotLight.

I’m always on the lookout for a better wiki platform.

Wikis have already had a huge impact, from pet projects to enterprise solutions to Wikipedia, the popular free online encyclopedia.

Wagn could open up even bigger ideas about what online communities can do.

It’s hard to cover the Web Information Collection news as good as CloudNotes does.  Be sure to check this blog out!  I just skimmed it and subscribed.  It’s already, in two months, something like 15 out of its 33 posts that I shared in Google Reader; that’s a very good signal-to-noise ratio.

Here’s yet another post about the UnMighty Mouse.  I thought Apple needed me to spell it out loud and clear, short and sweet.  I’m often verbose, but this time, I ain’t gonna be.

Here’s my personal list of pros and cons after 6 months of full-time usage of the Mighty Mouse:

Pros

1. I am addicted to its scroll ball, and
2. it looks and feels great (glossy, light).

Cons

Update: My final list of pros & cons of this Rotten Rodent.

First, let’s get Evernote‘s business out now: I have updated my recent review to reflect its new beta 1.1 version.

Update (2009): It’s been at least a few months since I stopped using this. Maybe I’m no more busy enough. And I was a bit hassled by the fact this app doesn’t feel that much native to OS X. It needs a bit of interaction tweaking.

Update (2008-05): The beta version was updated to 1.1, bringing support for PDF documents and some other minor goodies.  I’ve updated this post accordingly.  It also reflects the updated scores of Together 2.1.

Update (2008-05): Together and Evernote have been overhauled.  I’ve updated this post accordingly.

Update 2 (2008-12): MacApper posted a review of CleanApp 3, which has been released a month ago, and it looks even much more interesting than it did before. I’m yet to try it, though.
