I had posted this as an idea but was not clear that I expected an iPhone App that could Synch with "Brains in the Cloud" Thus having Cloud based Brains is a key step but did not "Complete" My original idea. An iPhone App would be able to take full advantage of the iPhone UI and Multi Finger controls.

Thus the repost

To have the possibility to add a new metadata to the thought that is Time. This should not be the creation date but simply a date added by the user.
Thoughts can then be visualized on a timeline. It will be nice that links will be visible in this new view of the plex.

May be this is a big implementation to insert in a new version. But I think will be very usefull to add a new dimension to the Brain.

I would love to be able to email and/or text a Thought or Note into my Brain while away from my PC. As one learns to use PB to manage one's creativity, tasks, "life," there may be times when an item comes up that belongs in the PB. I'd love to be able to email or text it in to my PB, even if it defaulted to a "holding Thought" of some sort.

I have stopped using Apple Mail in favour of Google Apps Mail - and would love to see PB and Google Apps working fully with each other. Google Calender & Google Docs work already - what about the Mail and Contacts side?

I would like to be able to print the results of the Reports tab including the notes of each thought in the report. It would be even more useful with some basic report formatting capability, but I would be satisfied with a hard copy print or export to text file of the Reports tab.

There is a great need here as we go collaborative. I would like to see full GoogleDocs integration with PB. Offerings like Memeo and Syncplicity do not offer features like multiple local folder integration etc. It would be awesome to create a file in PB and have the option to sync it with a GoogleDocs account so that both the GoogleDocs web location is stored and a sync'd local copy of the file is stored in that thought.

Ability to have templates in notes. This is useful for when you are doing organization of things like Names / Addresses ,etc. You can build a template to be filled out using Tables and then when a thought is created as a child of a thought it would inherit that text template.

While we are using personalbrain in a inter-connected way, sometimes we need a traditional table view. Here I recommend a view object to be connected to Thoughts, when one of the Thought is activated, the corresponding view shows in another layer of Plex. The views can be timeline, flowchart, table, Logic, positions in a image, even another part of the same brain(another plex) and more. The final aim is to make good use of various kinds of views to present knowledge stored in a brain.

Will enable opening multiple web pages, PDF's and MS Office Documents inside Personal Brain. Avoids the need to keep swapping in and out of of external applications. Mindjet Mind Manager just implemented this in its new Version 8...

I work with medical data that has its own structure which does not lend itself to the current sorting features. If the other features of the current release were not so compelling in other areas I'd be back to good old PB3 in a flash for that feature alone. I'm begging here! ;-}

Highlighted text from eMail, Web page, document would be clipped into and added into the plex as a special edit area or active thought.

See the video -- enough said!!!

As the idea is to completely use THEBRAIN as the user interface it currently still is missing one important feature to use it professionally. This is the versioning of thought and attachment feature. Currently I must still rely on a third party tool and either integrate somehow.

A thought-fact is a summary and has all the information about the active thought and the linked (related) thoughts with there link-types.

All this information is available in PB database, the only job for the brain is create a form with the thought-facts of the active thought, .

If you can READ all the thought-facts in the notes field there is no need clutter the plex with this kind of additional information.

look at my site http://webbrain.com/u/10Rp (only the English part of this webbrain)

I suggest that a thought or notes or even tags can have several languages. The language should be switchable with respective buttons (showing country flag for example). So you can enter a thought in French and if you like switch to English and enter the English thought name. For sure hotkeys will be necessary as switching would occur quite often. This is helpful for international presentations etc. Creating a thought with two or three languages all put to the name of the thought for example does not really work, you loose overview easily, not to mention notes in several languages.

AES encryption - Password protected brains. This would include encrypting all the little files associated with each brain.

Currently, tags are only differentiated by the name of the tag, there is no heirarchy or classification of tags. If at least two levels of tags were available, lots of functionality becomes available. For example, you could have a tag type of 'Release date', and then have the tag specify a date. You could in this way also implement what some have asked for in the 'Timeline' request(s). This is just one example of the possibilities.
