Integrate a Personal Wiki into Outlook's Today pane
Posted by Kevin Purdy at 12:20 AM on April 24, 2008
Lifehacker reader and TiddlyWiki enthusiast Fraser has written up a guide that takes the idea of cut-and-paste Outlook Today customising to the next logical (or at least Lifehacker-friendly) conclusion—integrating a TiddlyWiki to-do list and notebook into Outlook. Combine the easy-to-edit power of a personal wiki with the at-a-glance inbox and task information from Outlook, and you've got a powerful start page indeed. For a primer on getting things done with a TiddlyWiki, check out guest-poster Jason Thomas' GTDTiddlyWiki walkthrough. (Original Outlook Today post).

Made a hotkey Alt` to Outlook today on my toolbar. I already had a reference wiki that I alt-tab to frequently. NO MORE!!

what an awful screen grab! half of it's fuzzed out so i have no idea what I'm supposed to be seeing. Couldn't you have cropped it out or at least created something generic?

It will be much more useful if they get that Outlook 2007 bug worked out. My whole office just migrated to Outlook, and I would love to pass it around.

I liked the idea and did the same, but, I added the inbox and others RIGHT IN the wiki! It works great! Check out the screen shot.
