Are you familiar with that popular site, Wikipedia? Well if you are, how about having your own personal wikipedia. That’s what wikidPad aims to do for you. To help structure personal knowledge like Wikipedia helps structure global knowledge.

WikidPad is a wiki-like notebook for storing your thoughts, ideas, to do lists, contacts, or anything else you can think of to write down. The reason why this tool is different from other notepad applications is the ease with which you can cross-link your information.

Yeah it’s so easy to cross link information. Links in a wiki are created by typing in what is called WikiWords. And what is a WikiWord? Any case word (also called CamelCase) typed into the editor e.g. TodoList.

It is worthy of note that wikidPad is not a wikipedia thing; the term wiki means “quick” in Hawaiian. Since wiki means quick, you can rest assured that you are going to enjoy quickly linking your information together.

The latest version, WikidPad 1.9 Beta 2 has these changes:

• Better support for creating new tabs
• Several bug fixes
