What should I use to make a web dictionary of my brain?

) December 23rd, 2008

I take a lot of screenshots on the web (quotes, statistics, paragraphs from articles). I also have links to webpages and articles I want to come back to.

I have all my screenshots in a folder, and all my bookmarks on Delicious. Do you know of any apps that can combine these two into a Mind-Dictionary? I do a search for headaches, and boom it tells me a few articles I’ve bookmarked, some of my screenshots, etc. It doesn’t even need to be an app, maybe you do something cool with screenshots and links on yr computer that accomplishes the same thing. I have a Mac.

No idea, but with a little work, maybe you could make one for the rest of us. :)

Searching screenshots would be the toughest part, as you’d need something to read the image. You could always keep detailed file names and cross reference it yourself with very little work. Keep it on your hard drive and all you’d need to do then is a search.

Try Evernote. It searches within text in screenshots, scanned images and anything else, and you can basically collect any content. Text, websites, links, images, screenshots, cat fur, you name it. Your notes are accessible through the web, their Mac application, or their iPhone application. I think you’ll like it.
