David, *The TiddlyWiki Platform* was emphasised because until you, there was no response positive or negative to my suggestion. Looks like you proved the font size helped.:)
I am happy to agree to disagree, but I pride myself on being able to place myself in the position of a naive observer, What caught my attention originally was "non-linear personal web notebook", specifically "personal notebook" which I happened to be looking for at the time, but I found something much broader. Had I being looking for something else I may not have found it. If I knew what I know now, but did not know about tiddlywiki, and I was looking for something like tiddlywiki, I expect I would search for "Open source Web Application development platform". We do not appear there now. If I were IT naive I may have searched for notebook organiser, website in a file and other keywords GTD todo etc..perhaps then personal software development There is no doubt tiddlywiki is the best search string you can have once you know what it is. Before you discover it, it is has little, or no, or even negative value to finding it. The most important point to my example makes is "rather than rename, strengthen the meaning with often repeated and related words". If I told a business client, as I do that I will build the solution on an Platform called tiddlywiki then they went to search for "tiddlywiki platform" they currently get exactly what I hope they will get.
