SourceForge.net: Overwhelmed by your research? Turn to Piggydb

http://sourceforge.net/blog/overwhelmed-by-your-research-turn-to-piggydb/

Sometimes you can be overwhelmed by the amount and variety of information you uncover when you’re researching a project or a report. Using software to organize your information can help. At first glance, the web application Piggydb seems like a hybrid between a blog and a notebook application like Evernote that allows you to save information. But Piggydb puts its focus on the process of organizing information, which makes it what you might call an idea processor.

Piggydb V4.2 released

This release adds a new view for fragments: “tree“, which is a compact view for the descendant fragments of a selected fragment (to its great grandchildren).

Another new feature of this release is a fragment batch operation that allows users to create a new parent fragment of selected fragments.

1) Select fragments as below

2) Move to the fragment batch page, and you will find a form to create a new parent fragment of the selected fragments.

3) Input a title for new parent fragment and click on the “Create” button.

Piggydb V4.1 released

This release adds a new view for fragments: “multi-column“.

It shows fragment titles in a multi-column format and allows users to change column width with the slider control.

With the multi-column view, users can view as many fragments as possible on the screen.

The tag menu items (“New Tag”, “Recent Changes”, “Tags”) were integrated together into one menu, “Tag”.

Piggydb V4.0 released

This release adds multi-user support, which is built into the piggydb’s semantics seamlessly. You can create users just by creating fragments titled “username” and tagged with “#user“. It allows you to manage the users in exactly the same way as knowledge fragments, classifying with tags, connecting to other fragments, and so on.

Multi-user version coming soon

If you want to try out a multi-user demo, please mail (daisuke.marubinotto (at) gmail.com) or tweet (http://twitter.com/marubinotto) me. I would be delighted to create an account for you.
