OnFolio may be what I've been looking for in a personal information management system. I downloaded the trial version, I'll let you know if it replaces WikidPad as my new favorite software toy.

Update: OnFolio only seems to integrate with IE 5.5 or higher.  That's kind of a bummer.  Supposedly you can use some sort of desktop tool if you use Mozilla, but from all indications there is no Mozilla version in the works.  So apparently if you want to use OnFolio to its full effectiveness you need to prepare for pop-ups, spyware, and bugginess to follow.

Looks like Net Perceptions has become the "walking dead."  Net Perceptions really should just die.  I've been saying this for years now (disclaimer: I use to work at Net Perceptions for a little under a year).  I really liked working in the Austin office and it was full of bright and energetic people who really cared about doing a good job, but I think they just put too many layers between themselves and the consumer and got caught up believing that they had some sort of lock on data mining expertise, which was far from the case.

It amazes me that the shareholders would simultaneously vote for a one-time "liquidation" dividend and then would not vote to dismantle or sell off the company.  It really makes no sense.  Unless different shareholders (with different buy-in points) made those decisions.
