You could say the same about absolutely anything. You have to try it to appreciate how much of a positive impact it can have on your life/plans/schedule. I cannot function without a detailed outline. Every single thing I do - personal, work, long-term projects, social obligations, house chores - is part of an outline. It's nice to be able to offload your brain to an app that will remember it forever so that you can concentrate on better things. I even take minutes in real-time during all meetings in the form of nested outlines.
Plus, Matt Cutts uses Workflowy. So you have to wonder how much of an impact a good outline can have on the world!
Yeah, I like outliners. I've used them since the DOS days. I just wanted to know how this one is better/different than what's currently out there. The fact that it's web-based isn't new.
The article starts with "For as long as I’ve been using computers, I’ve been searching for the perfect way to take digital notes" and then the author went through a list of popular tools previously evaluated and this made me think the author was going to talk about a new kind of tool.
Anyways, it's good that this article will expose people to outliners (and awesome Matt Cutts is using one).
