My Three Wishes for PKM Apps. What are yours?
If you could make three wishes that would improve PKM, what would they be?
Introduction
Navigating the world of Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) apps can be exhilarating and exasperating. Well, now imagine you are on your favourite search engine looking for an answer to your PKM problems when the search engine returns a curious result, saying ‘Make three wishes’. It’s the PKM Genie ready to grant your heart’s desire, but what would they be?
In this range of articles at PKM in the Wild, I will invite our writers and readers alike to engage in this project and provide feedback to the PKM community on what we want to see. It can be a killer feature that you wished your favourite tool had, something that would mean so much if it was put right, or anything at all, but there must only be three wishes, so you have to put your thinking caps on.
