title: 2010 - How did you first discover TiddlyWiki? - smandoli - 2010-12-24T00:00:00.000Z

I spent 2009 in a part-time and solitary obsession with knowledge-management tools, trying to figure out how to harness my chaotic, distracted, eclectic and adventurous thought life.  This was encouraged by a re-read of the famous 1946 "Memex" proposal, discovery of the "<a href="javascript:;" title="The tiddler 'TheBrain' doesn't yet exist" class="tiddlyLink tiddlyLinkNonExisting" refresh="link" tiddlylink="TheBrain" tiddlyfields="server.type:&quot;tiddlyweb&quot; server.host:&quot;http://interview.tiddlyspace.com&quot; server.workspace:&quot;bags/smandoli_public&quot;">TheBrain</a>" online demo. and personally productive work in mind mapping.  (More at <a class="externalLink" href="http://themanthursday.com/wiki-first-taste/" title="External link to http://themanthursday.com/wiki-first-taste/" target="_blank">http://themanthursday.com/wiki-first-taste/</a>.)  I would run google searches that returned nothing, but eventually I lined up the right keywords and landed at <a href="javascript:;" title="TiddlyWiki - jermolene, 15/11/2010, 17:20:58" class="tiddlyLink tiddlyLinkExisting" refresh="link" tiddlylink="TiddlyWiki" tiddlyfields="server.type:&quot;tiddlyweb&quot; server.host:&quot;http://interview.tiddlyspace.com&quot; server.workspace:&quot;bags/smandoli_public&quot;">TiddlyWiki</a>.  <br>
