Context Sensitive 'Sticky Notes': Stick a Sticky Note to your Blog!

Posted on 04:03 by Unknown
Conceptworld's Quick Notes Plus might appear like any other Sticky Notes Plus (QNP) program, but its context-sensitive notes feature is mind blowing: QNP is the closest to our paper sticky notes. What I mean is you can stick a paper note anywhere you want and that's what makes them useful. Say, your TV needs repair. You just stick on note on it saying 'Take me to the mechanic or call the mechanic' and every time you drown your lazy butt in the couch the note on the TV reminds you that you have to fix the TV. Paper Sticky Notes are naturally context-sensitive. Most Virtual Sticky Notes software are not. That's where QNP scores. And I think its context-sensitivity alone will make it a leader in its market. So, good luck QNP.

Other possible uses of context-sensitive notes by QNP:



    QNP allows you to stick a note to a window. Any window that's open on your PC.

  1. Stick a Note to your weblog: 'need to write about the Paris trip' and every time you open your weblog the note would remind you that you got to make a post about your trip. This is cool or what?


  2. Stick a note to any document (finished, unfinished)


  3. Stick a note to Winamp! (download reminder?)


  4. Stick a note to your e-mail program (Outlook or Notes or Eudora). Though most e-mail programs have notes in built; the notes are not prominent... QNP notes appear when you open the e-mail program... and appear prominent.


  5. Stick notes to your Yahoo Messenger 'remind John about the party'!




I can go on but I know you got the drift. So why don't you

visit QNP's site and give it a spin? And hey QNP's priced version is only $24.95 and that my friend is a steal.
