Sifting Through the Digital Mess

from the I-know-I-put-it-somewhere dept

We're increasingly churning out large amounts of information and storing it in our huge hard drives (do you remember when 500MB was more than you could ever use?). Of course finding that information after we've safely stored it tends to be more difficult as time goes by. Luckily, as our digital stores grow companies are building solutions to help us recover our misplaced information and best of all the solutions are free. These solutions will become increasingly important as our hard disks increase in size and manual searching becomes too cumbersome!

    thanks for linking to the article. The author describes one of my biggest problems using my PC. I downloaded the software enfish onespace - it will save me hours searching for files and finding the right piece of information somewhere on my harddrive.

    I know two other similar products/solutions. One of them is Kenjin from Autonomy. The other is by purpleyogi.com. Both are variations of intelligent personal search agents. Enjoy!
