It occurs to me in reading back over my post that I didn't quite say what I meant to. My main problem at the moment is figuring out which of the other programs is the best fit for me to use to organize my information.
For books/media in particular - there's the Amazon engine, which is kinda cool because it integrates with what you order from there, but the interface is kind of slow and clunky, at least so far. LibraryThing is great, but I don't know that I like the 250 books then you have to pay limit. And it doesn't allow you to organize movies and CDs. GuruLib *does* - but it doesn't seem to be as powerful or well-engineered as LibraryThing. Google Books is the least powerful of the lot (and still has some major bugs - some of my books occasionally vanish for a little bit) but if they ever fully integrate it with several of their other features, it'll be worth having my stuff there, I think.
Similar issues exist with the major productivity/to-do list apps, and with the journals it's more a question of the design flexibility and the posting rules.
I'm fairly certain you have my correct addy - but just in case it's cybermathwitch on gmail.
I would love any articles you run across - they would be quite helpful, thanks!
