After I make a photo of the post, I can add the date/time stamp and any other meta data, and keep the original handwritten copy for later uses.
Statuses
This small, green pocket memo book with a “frame” layout seems to be the perfect form factor for short handwritten notes to post to Twitter. A Twitter notebook if you will. Thanks Midori.
Aaron Davis (Read Write Collect)Anna Kelsey-Sugg and Julie Street discuss Dennis Duncan research in the index. He explains how the practice evolved separately in Paris and Oxford during 1230. Although the two inventions were not connected, they were both associated with the rise of the university and the lecture. In the early 13th...
Great find Aaron. Thanks for the ping.
I’ve gone back further than this for the commonplace and the florilegium which helped to influence their creation, though I’ve not delved into the specific invention or general use of indices in the space heavily. I suspected that they grew out of the tradition of using headwords, though I’m not sure that indices became more popular until the paper by John Locke in 1689 (in French) or 1706 (in English).
I’ll put Dr. Duncan’s book into the hopper and see what he’s got to say on the topic.

Anna Gát (Twitter)If we’d like to do an @interintellect_ salon on the future of note taking, who would you like us to invite as special guests?

I made a note about this last year https://hyp.is/i3iUMtOSEeudHIML10vbwQ/iannotate.org/2021/program.html (particularly with respect to some diversity for the IAnno21 session on a similar topic).
You should also have at least one historian: maybe Ann M. Blair, Richard Yeo, Matthew Daniel Eddy (@BookScribbler), or Markus Krajewski?
Jeremy Dean (@Dr_JDean) and Remi Kalir (@RemiKalir) are intriguing within both the education and technology space.
For a dramatically different perspective from most of both my suggestions and others I’ve seen on the thread, a Sketchnotes representative like Mike Rohde (@RohDesign) would be nice.
Hey @chrisaldrich are any of your active spaces wiki-like (pagename=url)? Your TW seems abandoned....
— Bill Seitz of FluxGarden (@BillSeitz) February 9, 2022
@BillSeitz @bmann @flancian @gordonbrander I’ll eventually bring back the TW when I can sync it with my (currently private) Obsidian. I’m slowly working at making things compatible with/consumable by @an_agora.
Intriguing article by @EleanorKonik on the Second Brain.
— TfT Hacker - Exploring Tools for Thought and PKM (@TfTHacker) February 1, 2022
What do you think, do you like this term or find it confusing?
Obsidian is my Thinking Environment not my Second Brain https://t.co/xU7trnY6n1 #TfT
There are many historical terms for these #PKM tools. Second brain is one of the worst and is primarily a marketing term. See: https://boffosocko.com/2021/07/03/differentiating-online-variations-of-the-commonplace-book-digital-gardens-wikis-zettlekasten-waste-books-florilegia-and-second-brains/#Second%20brain
A smidgen of its use stems from the mistranslation of some Luhmann work which is better read as “secondary memory”.
One of my favorites is Eminem’s “stacking ammo“.
For those in the back: Niklas Luhmann did not invent the Zettelkasten.

Or if you need a mug for drinking your coffee as you process your permanent notes…
I’m excited to join Dan Allosso‘s book club on How to Take Smart Notes as a means of turning my active reading, annotating, and note taking into papers, articles and books using Obsidian.md and Hypothes.is.

Another really clever reimagining of the @Hypothes_is UI from @peterhagen_. Lots of color! A graph of annotations over time! And you can annotate on the page.
Commonplace books seem fascinating

I wonder if there's a way to capture these at a daily/weekly pace digitally and figure out how to collate them in a book you can physically hold and share
If you’re curious about doing this from digital to print, you’ll find some interesting pointers/ideas at these two links:
In looking at a target for how many books I’d like to read this year, I realize that I added 574 books to my list of book to read in 2021. At this rate, my anti-library is growing exponentially with respect to the books I’ve actually been able to read.
what if we did just migrate from twitter to thousands of substacks. this might actually be a good thing. there's still a stream, but it runs a little slower. might clear up some things too. longform twitter.
— hungry bread elevator {αἱματόϊδρις} (@AGWilsonn) January 20, 2022Blogging emphasized writing and linking. Twitter de-emphasized writing to prioritize sharing. Linking became unnecessary because of the timeline. Now linking is most popularly used for dunking (QT). Corners of threaded-Twitter have redeemed the QT tho and opened up a lot.

For academics, a range of sources and spaces may be best from books, articles on down to tweets. The Garden and Stream may be a useful metaphor with respect to your Twitter (stream) use: https://hapgood.us/2015/10/17/the-garden-and-the-stream-a-technopastoral/
For ideas on implementing this (under various names) try: https://indieweb.org/commonplace_book. Micro.blog may be one of the online platforms that does a lot of this with IndieWeb building blocks, allows syndication to twitter, has a low barrier, and a reasonable subscription cost. It’s a social reader that also includes
Examples specific to religious studies I’ve seen, include those considered “florilegia”, Philip Melanchthon, and Jonathan Edwards, just to name a few.
I’m always curious about which methods and tools people use to take best advantage of these knowledge ideas, particularly for collecting, curating, reusing, and ultimately creating. Have you written about your overall experience with Knovigator and how you use it in this context?
