productivity - Is there any efficient non-linear note-taking software?


I'd be interested in tools helping to organize thoughts and ideas, especially in a non-linear way (i.e. not as most existing note taking tools, working with lists and bullets, but rather as a post-it application). Ideally, something like the tool they use in Minority Reports would be cool (without the fancy-touch thingy), but an important point would be the ability to visually connect different ideas/notes together.


EDIT: Maybe to make things more explicit, I have a visual memory, and it helps me a lot having a graphical disposition to classify things (like important things at the top-right, urgent ones on the middle-left, etc). Basically, I'd like to find my messy desk on my screen :)



Answer



For nice graphical note editing/drawing:


If you get the hang on it, you probably could use http://prezi.com/


Your notes would look great, and you can always zoom in and out, if you want to add details.



For sharing your notes everywhere (web/smartphone):


Actually springpad is no longer available..


see http://www.springpadit.com, another nice option for taking notes: - Take your notes on the go (clients for most smartphones). - Edit your notes and analyse them, on the web. - You can tag and label your notes, so you have some non-linear flexibility as well.
