Stikkit - magic words
Amazing how easy to use a system can be, that works all like a wiki but adds a calendar function, contact management, bookmarks, todo lists and much more… it is really magic how the »magic words« of stikkit are working out. Just type in some sentences and stikkit will recognize what content it is about and convert phone numbers into contact details or date and time into a calender object and with some more simple commands your entry will be tagged with multiple keywords.
When I heard about the idea behind stikkit and the words triggering the creation of certain objects I thought about this as a techie thing only, as it seemed to me like learning a certain syntax for coding. Now after some quick tests I can really say stikkit felt quite intuitive to me - I did not really have to think about what phrases I have to use, I just typed in plain text and the system recognized most of the things I wanted it to do. This seems to me as quite an intuitive approach to simplify wiki interfaces, and after a few test entries one will definitly get used to this very promising approach… see the power of stikkit in some screencasts or take a look at the blog entry at 43folders for a more detailed intro.
Using stikkit I can also highly recommend the combination with the brand new dashboard widget for Mac users.
