ZuluPad - Personal Wiki Notepad
I first fell in love with the concept of wikis a few years ago, after reading an article at Sitepoint entitled "What is a Wiki?". Since then, I've used a number of personal wiki notepads (useful for organizing your notes and thoughts) as well as public online wikis. The somewhat self-organizing abilities of the wiki are still very alluring to me, but I've yet to be able to find one to settle on. ZuluPad may be the one. ZuluPad is a free, stripped-down personal wiki for the Windows desktop that eschews silly customs like CamelCase or funky markup to denote links to new pages, and instead allows users to either click a button to mark a word or phrase as a link, or simply use CTRL-L as a hotkey. Simple, and effective. Beyond the manner in which links are created, ZuluPad delivers what you might expect - a very small and quick notepad with wiki functionality.
Probably my only gripe is that there are no formatting options whatsoever in ZuluPad. While I don't want to over-complicate this simple and effective tool, the ability to bold or italicize things would go a long way towards making pages more readable. I'm just sayin'.
