Hivemind: I recall recently reading about some kind of note-taking sort of tool that helps you when you're doing research on something.
I recall that it was aimed at seamlessly integrating the distinct, but related activities of *sense-making* and *exploration*.
For example, you're learning a topic, and you explore: you do some searches, open a bunch of tabs for various web pages, get a bunch of articles. You're just exploring, gathering,
Then, you start *sense-making*: you take all the various articles, etc, and start organizing and, well, making sense of them. Putting things in your own words, organizing what you've found into something useful for you.
I'm recalling someone like Andy Matsuchak talking about this?
What am I not-really-remembering?
