Alternative to OneNote and More!

Whether you want to take notes to write a research paper, create a
knowledge base, make an e-book or a help system, “My Notes Keeper”
provides an effective way to do all this

WPG Computing, Inc. has announced the release of “My Notes Keeper” v.
1.9. This application provides you with a centralized location for
various types of notes, which are organized into a searchable
knowledge base. Thanks to the Word-style interface and editing
options, you can create and edit notes in much the same way as you
would type a document in a familiar word processor, applying styling,
inserting images, tables, hyperlinks, etc. The knowledge base can be
encrypted and protected with a password to ensure the safety of its
contents.

“My Notes Keeper” has been designed as a high tech alternative to
paper note cards. Many people write out their thoughts, plans or
outlines on paper cards but then find themselves unable to retrieve
the one they need in the disastrous chaos of paper. “My Notes Keeper”
makes a search for information refreshingly clean and easy. Firstly,
this is due to the tree-like representation of notes, which enables
you to find the note you need literally at a glance. Secondly, the
application has a solid search facility that can go through notes and
find any information in no time, regardless of the size and number of
notes in the knowledge base.
A special treat in “My Notes Keeper” is its text editing environment,
which gives you all standard text and paragraph editing options like
setting up fonts, color, size, background color, inserting tables,
images, and symbols. You can also import texts in such formats as
*.txt, *.wri, *.rtf, *.doc, *.html and export notes to *.txt, *.html,
*.wri, *.doc and some other formats. These and many other options are
delivered in a familiar user interface whose design takes after
Microsoft Word. Due to this peculiarity, you can start using the
program right “out of the box” without the need to spend time on
reading the user manual or studying the interface.
Note taking and keeping are not the only benefits you will gain with
this software. “My Notes Keeper” can be used to create professional
help systems and electronic books that blend together text, graphics,
media and hyperlinks. For this purpose, the program has a compiler
that can package up a project as a single *.chm or *.exe file in just
a few mouse clicks. Another useful feature is a reminder tool that
alerts you with a popup window or a sound at a specific time or over a
time interval. With this facility, you will never forget about a
specific event like somebody’s birthday or a business meeting or some
other things to remember.

I really wonder if it's an appropraiate way of trying to promote one's
product if this is done by posting in a competitor's newsgroup ....

The moderators should remove the sales pitch post. We are looking for
solutions to OneNote. Not for a different product.

I strongly disagree. If there is a related program then it is the right of
the consumers to be aware of it.
Consumers can try it and compare it to ON. This will only improve ON and
nothign more.
I really dislike the attitude that one behaves as if ON is the only and will
be the only ever note taking program.
If US is US today, this because of its competitive economy, and because it
has challanged the production of others, not pretend like that they do not
exist.

So people, please let us always know any relevant program of a competitor.
We want to know and compare it to ON.
We WANT TO CRITISIZE ON for the IMPROVEMENT of ON!

Open your mind, dont live in a small nest.

That's fine but this is a Microsoft OneNote forum which exists to help
people who choose to use OneNote.

I don't want to see this forum spammed with competitors' product
announcements. That would decrease the signal-to-noise ratio here and reduce
the usefulness of this excellent forum for me.

I'm happy for PowerToys, add-ins and tips for using OneNote to be shared
here but if others want to find alternatives to OneNote then they can do
their research outside this forum via Google, online reviews etc. That's how
I found OneNote in the first place.

and show them that the other products are not as good.
and to show them that theere are alternatives they can try.

This is what you call it a "spam". Yes there are many spammes posted in
newsgroups but that does not require you to conclude that this is one of
them. This post only informs about an alternative and invites us to see how
ON performs in the market. If you dont see this, then this is your problem.

They can but dont have to. The first place a person will look for extensive
ON information is this newsgroup and the "competitors" are "ON's
competitors", and not Mercedes trucks'.

Moreover, a single message in this sea of messages should not necessrily
disturb the participants.

You're free to do so ;-)
If there is a related program then it is the right of the consumers to

a) No "related" program. Just a product a competitor is trying to put on
the market.
b) There are enough places to attract potentials clients.
But not in the "home" of a product.
Consumers can try it and compare it to ON. This will only improve
ON and nothign more.
I really dislike the attitude that one behaves as if ON is the only
and will be the only ever note taking program.

I am far from being a "ON only" fanatic.
But I just dislike if competitors are trying to make proselytes and just
use the ON NGs for that.
What has been done here it's just SPAMming NGs with advertising.
What happened here was posting an advertising. There's enough places
under God's wide heaven to do this. But IMHO the support group for a
certain piece of software run by its producer is the worst place for
advertising competing products.

What would happen if in the local pub some other (competing) pub-owner
would enter shouting around "Hi folks, I have a great pub, called 'Bull
& Bear'. We are selling the famous Guinness there!"
???
If US is US today, this because of its competitive economy, and
because it has challanged the production of others, not pretend
like that they do not exist.

AFAICS the present state of the economy in the US is anything but a
pattern for the world's economy ... said:

What You want to know is one thing.
Where advertising appears, just something totally different!

I take the liberty to disagree.
It's not a place to be used for advertising a competing product done by
it's producer(seller.

It's a place where *users* might discuss on alternatives, compare
products, talk about shortcomings of the products they are using and how
that might be improved.
But not a board for placing advertising.
This is what you call it a "spam". Yes there are many spammes
posted in newsgroups but that does not require you to conclude that
this is one of them.

Sorry, what happened her is SPAMming, without any doubt.
This post only informs about an alternative
and invites us to see how ON performs in the market. If you dont
see this, then this is your problem.

*NO* it's not just information. It's pure sales promotion.
It was placed in here with the clear intention to attract possible
clients.
Nothing less.
They can but dont have to. The first place a person will look for
extensive ON information is this newsgroup and the "competitors"
are "ON's competitors", and not Mercedes trucks'.

But he wants to sell his product may use any sales channels, but *not* a
place maintained by the market leader for the peer-to-peer support of
the users.

As you are trying to make sense with using an automobile analogy:
What would you say if in a forum run by Mercedes for sharing experience
with using and tuning their sports cars Porsche's advertising department
would place an advertising text telling which great features the
Porsches have?
Moreover, a single message in this sea of messages should not
necessrily disturb the participants.

Right!
But it's just annoying. And he who uses this kind of abuse should be
told about his misbehaviour.

just my 4 cents <g>

Ok. It is an ad and I tried to look at it from a different perspective.

But yes, you are right.

I agree that this is an inappropriate "message" for this forum but if you're
convinced your product is indeed a viable alternative, why don't you post s
link here or on your website for the 60 day free trial?

What? No 60 day free trial? Clearly it's just a wannabe.

I strongly disagree. If there is a related program then it is the right of

But I'd be willing to bet that if we went over to their support
newsgroup or bulletin board or blog or whatever, and posted notes
about how great OneNote is, they'd yank the postings and lock us out
without thinking twice....

No, I don't think it's appropriate, unless we were to set up a
sub-group for third-party applications. It's not appropriate in the
support group for OneNote.

I think Rainald will recall my following the same philosophy back in
the dBASE and Clipper days on CompuServe....

For sure I do ;-) and not only CompuServe days but in the dBASE Inc NGs
too ;-)
And you might remember how furious I could get whenever things were
"censored" away ...

I didn't have as much control over the dBASE Inc newsgroups as I did
with the CompuServe forums. I was more of just an information
provider for those, as my job was Knowledgebase Manager instead of
working in a direct support role.
And you might remember how furious I could get whenever things were
"censored" away ...

Rightly so, too.
