It's not so fascinating at when first writing a note, but it gets interesting after that -you have tags on tags -and finally you get an ontology or thereabouts

I'm not sure it's cut out for everyone though

hackernewscomment_paragraph_id("I use prolog written in text files, it's pretty much the perfect query language and so there's no better tool for organizing your knowledge. (it's such a cool way to organize notes that i often go overboard with taking too many notes and too much organizing).",1,1030).

hackernewscomment_paragraph_id("It's also a brilliant metaprogramming language (i use it for html, java, javascript, python, sql, mozart/oz) so you can spend all your work time in it if you're a programmer.",2,1030).

comment_tag(1030,prolog). pllanguagecomment(X) :- comment_tag(X,Y),pllanguage(Y). pllanguage(prolog). pllanguage(java). description(pllanguagecomment,"tell me comment id's where i commented about a programming language").



check out protege ontology editor for people who'd like a graphical tool for this style of organizing
