  Second Brain Reloaded Test Release development | (0)

  It's been a while since the last update on secondbrain.com. But today, I'm happy to announce that we've released a test version of Second Brain Reloaded.

  New Tag Line - All Your Internet Content marketing | (0)

  I decided to change the tag line from "Your Personal Internet Library" to "All Your Internet Content".

In a few hours, I hope to have the Test Release of Second Brain Reloaded live. I will transfer all users from the old Preview release and send an email to registered Test Pilots.

The explosion of content on the Internet is making searching for information difficult once again. It is one of the reason we are seeing a sharp increase in the number of companies — vertical search engines and wiki-based collaborations, for example — that want to help us find the information for which we’re looking.But the biggest aggregators, like Wikipedia, still get more than half of their traffic from Google.These traffic ...
