So here's mine..
I use Yojimbo as a temporary store for things until I've got time to
organise them properly.
I don't want to store things in Yojimbo permanently as I already have
a file system manager with labels, and comments and full text search
-- one with nested folders, and as powerful a set of smart folders
that one could wish for (until the next Model-T replaces our current
horse that is). There's no way, for permanent storage, that I'd ever
give up the power of the file system.
Passwords *end up* in my Keychain.
Bookmarks I want to keep *end up* in Safari.
Everything else ends up in the *correct* folder.
There is such a thing as the *correct* folder as there are such
things as objective hierarchies -- ones which capture real
relationships between things. You can think of genus-species
groupings in biology, or project-file groupings in your work. Where
such groupings exist, a hierarchical file structure has real value,
but they take some thinking about to be stable/valuable-- which is
why the profession of 'librarian' exists for one. Yojimbo -- and
tagging -- fills a nice gap for me while I'm still working these
things out (or in the middle of something else important when the new
bit of stuff arrives).
Others may take a different approach, this is mine.
Regards,
Carlton
