The A Ha Moment

Thinklinkr vs Google Wave Round 4

by Vishu

Have you heard people talking about that “A-Ha” moment when you finally get wave?

Apparently after someone explains it to you and shows it to you for a while, you finally realize what it’s for, say “A Ha” and then you understand wave.

The problem with wave is that you feel like an idiot until then.

Thinklinkr is not like that. With thinklinkr, it’s easy to get started and then easy to get better. Don’t be afraid – you already know how to outline. Just get going.

I learned this from Kathy Sierra: Our job is to help people be awesome. You can’t be awesome if you don’t know what to do. It’s not a question of having simpler features. As you become more powerful, you need a more powerful tool. It’s about letting you get started and then helping you get more and more.

Later on I’ll drill into how separating “Collection” from “Organization” of information will make you a better brainstormer and note taker. But for the nerds, it’s just like refactoring!
