Organise
12:00PM Angus Kidman | Windows only: Sticky notes applications are fairly common, but StickySorter, a new offering from Microsoft’s Office Labs division, is designed to deal with a particular challenge: organising large groups of notes from multiple sources into relevant groups. Microsoft originally built it to help with the process of affinity diagramming, and it includes options for importing notes data from CSV files, tagging notes, and allowing structured data within the free-form sticky environment. Like most Labs products, there’s no clear indication of what will ultimately happen to this, but it’s an interesting new take on working with unstructured information. StickySort is a free download for Windows only, requires .NET Framework 2.0.

Archive All Your Mac Sticky Notes By Converting To PDF
8:30AM Lifehacker US Edition | If you’ve got a clutter of Stickies on your Mac desktop and you want to archive them all in one fell swoop, here’s a kludge jury-rigged from Print to PDF: While there’s no direct “export all” feature in Stickies, there is a fairly simple workaround. First, select File -> Print All Notes. In the Print dialog, click the PDF pop-up menu, then select Save as PDF. The PDF can then be printed if you prefer a paper record, or you can copy and paste the text from a reader into any text editor. If you’ve set up a Stickies tutorial, this would be a good way to save what you’ve written for reusing it later. Looking for other ways to improve your sticky notes? Check out Stick ‘Em Up for extending Stickies or download and try SketchBox. If you have a quicker way to convert your stickies to a text file, let us know in the comments.

Get Team Projects Done Faster With Scrumy
9:58AM Lifehacker US Edition | Free webapp Scrumy helps teams manage and complete projects that will feel familiar to anyone who’s used Scrum collaboration techniques developing software. Frustrated when cheap sticky notes refused to stay stuck to the wall, the folks from Knockout Apps decided to develop a digital solution. A free version is available, but to go pro it’ll cost you $US7 a month or $US60 a year and you’ll get extra features like automatically generated burndown charts to track your progress from day to day. Plus, you won’t randomly get a clip from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air instead of your project. Check out the demo, and if you’re not convinced, check out the team’s “Professional Infomercial” after the jump. More »

SketchBox Does Powerful Sticky Notes

Similar to the default Stickies application that’s baked into your Mac, SketchBox has tons more functionality, with typing, drawing, and timers built into every sticky.

The app also gives you a robust, iPhoto-style organisation window for your sticky notes. SketchBox is donationware, Mac OS X only. SketchBox [via MacApper] More »
