Yes, indeed, the concept just works. And besides - it is fun. Just enter your information in a somehow formatted way and your cow-orkers will correct it, amend it, modify it and (in my case, TWiki) I am notified of changes - so I can immediately review their changes.
It is fun, it works, it is addictive, building a general knowledge base around products, problems, clients, projects.
It is a way of communicating within a group without everyone being on line, with having the possibility to weed out the noise.
This type of software also exists for the Windows/Outlook combo, it is called Nelson Email Organiser. Google for it, download the full functional trial, become addicted and buy it.
This is what I did.
It runs on top of Outlook, leaving your.PST files handled by MS Outlook, and building its own index.
To give a few examples you can search all your.PST's at the same time; they are fully word indexed. A search for e.g. 'slashdot' takes 2 seconds, 7 items, 'GNU': 2 seconds, 31 items, 'software' 20 seconds, 6884 items... (21.PST files totalling 3 Gb)
You can have the notion of active mail, mail per date, per user, per attachment (sorta like virtual folders), so if I want to search for a mail I usually remember a few attributes of that mail, either who sent it to me, more or less when, some words in the mail, attachments, etc. With the incredible search function I find any mail under a minute.
I'm with 3 cow-orkers and in the beginning (they didn't realise that I had Nelson Email Organiser) they were constantly amazed at the speed I retrieved e-mails that we were looking for. Now they know better - they ask me to retrieve an e-mail that was send to the 4 of us.
Very recommendable software. Stable (1 crash in 2 months). I don't work there, I'm just a happy customer
SpecOpS Labs is developing a Systems Level product called David. The primary purpose of David is to
provide a platform, which will serve as a viable alternative to the MS Windows Operating System.
Our first release of David, version 1.0, will be a Middleware program that will sit on top of the free and
open-source Linux operating system, and enable it to seamlessly run most Windows applications. Working in the
background, David will enable users to run their favorite programs with the look-and-feel they are familiar with.
*COMMENTED OUT*
The next generation will, in effect, incorporate the operating system into the web browser, virtually eliminating
the need for an operating system eventually, except to boot the computer and launch the browser.
*END COMMENTED OUT*
David will be configured to be made available for installation either through the internet or from a compact disk
or DVD. It may either be pre-installed by OEMs, or may be easily installed by consumers themselves in plug-and-play
fashion.
*COMMENTED OUT*
David will be distributed to consumers in five releases. See the Information Memorandum within the Investor
Relations section for detailed information on each scheduled release. The David V 1.0 architectural framework has
been validated, prototyped, and copyrighted and has entered the full design and development stage.

Running Windows Applications on Linux. Most of the popular software applications such as Word,
Excel, Quicken and PageMaker are designed to run exclusively on the Windows OS;
that is, Windows applications cannot natively run on the Linux operating system.
However there are three alternative methods of running Windows applications on
the Linux OS. These three methods include:
Porting: which requires recompiling the application source code to run on Linux;
PC Emulation: commonly misunderstood as Windows Emulation;
Re implementation of the Windows Environment Subsystem

It's almost too obvious a point, but apparently it bears repeating: The more the Web is like TV, the less we need it. TV already does a pretty effective job of delivering what Net content people call "broadband multimedia information and entertainment" to the home, and most consumers already own the hardware. What sells the Internet to newbies is its promise of things TV can't deliver: "many-to-many" communication via bulletin boards and e-mail; interactive services that go beyond catalog shopping; quirky content unavailable on TV's limited number of channels; specific, accurate information that's there when you need it, whether it's sports stats, stock quotes or plane-ticket availability.

Seven years later, and it still counts. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. People will either block those ads, or go to other sites. Just like TCP, they will learn to route around the problem.
The web is not TV, it is not a one way communication channel where you can shove as much commercial bullshit to the other side as your CFO requires you to do. You don't have regulations on the number of channels, you have an unlimited number of them, and they get popular or less populer in a matter of days/weeks/months.
I live in Belgium, and yahoo does not provide me with www.yahoo.be. It has registered the domain, but it redirects to Yahoo france. WTF? I'm in the Flemish part, so they miss the boat there. In addition to that, Google allows me to search for pages from Belgium, or pages in Dutch/Flemish, while Yahoo seem to think that 5 million people can be ignored.
67% of the attacks were against Linux servers and 12,892 sites were successfully breached.
23.2% of the attacks were against Windows servers and 4,626 sites were successfully breached.
Let's say there were 100,000 attacks, this means that the successrate for Linux is 12,892/67,000 = 19,24%, while the successrate for Windows is 4,626/23,200 = 19,94%

Yes - for a (non-free) implementation for Outlook see Nelson Email Organiser Pro.
I have over 1 Gb of e-mails in some 20 PST's that I can search in literally seconds based upon sender, receiver, content, type of attachment and age.
