Getting Things Done TiddlyWiki:

Holy wiki, Batgirl! GTD TiddlyWiki tracks all your Getting Things Done lists – Next Actions, Projects, and context lists – in a you-won’t-believe-your-eyes dynamic web page made up of editable chunks.

The original TiddlyWiki by Jeremy Ruston is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing dynamic web apps I’ve ever seen (sorry Gmail.) The GTD TiddlyWiki adaptation is searchable and printable on 3×5 index cards (hello Hipster PDAers), and best of all, web hosting isn’t required to use it. Simply save the file to your computer and open it up in your web browser for a private, local, cross-platform webpage app. Give yourself some time to play with this new toy – it’s fun, addictive and useful.

Very, Very, Very cool
