* Take notes, and use tags and hyperlinking to form relationships between your notes
* Use tabs, tables, tag-based lists, and tables of contents to get organzed
* Bookmark your favorite websites (see an example at http://giffmex.org/experiments/tidmarks.html)
* Keep track of tasks and appointments, and organize them by multiple tags (see our TaskManagementExample)
* Keep track of tasks and appointments, and organise them by multiple tags (see our TaskManagementExample)

* Create a blog or website
* Write a book
* Organize your images into galleries (see our [[ImageGallery Example]])
* Organise your images into galleries (see our [[ImageGallery Example]])
* Share the information in your ~TiddlyWiki with others, as an online file, as a file attachment, as a tiddler file, or as a link to a specific online tiddler (try clicking and dragging a tiddler from one ~TiddlyWiki file to another to see what happens)
* Draw a sketch (Edit [[Motovun Jack.jpg]] and start drawing over the image to see what happens)
* Create a modal wizard (also known as a lightbox) - see SampleWizard
* Create a slideshow presentation
* Set up an entire local or online knowledgebase, with a central ~TiddlyWiki file linking to other ~TiddlyWiki files (http://recursos.giffmex.org is a Spanish online example of this)
* Set up a data visualization using tiddlers as data (see the visualizations at http://tiddlywiki.com/d3demo.html)
* Create a timeline (See http://emkayonline.github.io/tw5visjs/#ShowTimelineDemo)

Much of the early feedback was that TiddlyWiki was neat, but that it would be more useful when it was possible to properly save changes. I was a little frustrated, as I thought I knew that it was impossible for an HTML file running in the browser to save changes to the local file system.
Within a few months I saw an experimental Firefox extension that enabled TiddlyWiki to save changes in the browser. Examining the code, I realised that the APIs that it used to write to the file system were actually available in ordinary HTML files - as long as they were loaded via a ''file://'' URI.

I adapted the Firefox code into the core of TiddlyWiki, and soon added a similar ability for Internet Explorer (making use of an old ActiveX control that Microsoft distributed with Internet Explorer).

In May 2007, [[BT]] acquired [[Osmosoft]], my consultancy company. It was an unusual decision to acquire a company with a single employee and a tiny trickle of revenue - [[Osmosoft]] didn't even own the intellectual property in TiddlyWiki since I had handed it over to UnaMesa to assure its future for the community.
[[BT]]'s motivation was to help them understand
[[BT]]'s motivation was to help them understand community-based ecosystems. I joined the organisation as "Head of Open Source Innovation", taking responsibility for open source governance, and providing advice and expertise on how to participate in open soure communities.
! [[Osmosoft]] and TiddlySpace
I built a team in BT under the name [[Osmosoft]]. Our purpose was to evangelise the benefits of open source, and to help other teams realise those benefits in practice. We also found that it was necessary to evangelise the use of the web in general, and web standards in particular.
Our approach was to focus on showing rather than telling. We worked with the TiddlyWiki community to extend the ecosystem and we built numerous internal systems for BT (some based on TiddlyWiki and some not).
[[Osmosoft]]'s chief contribution to the TiddlyWiki community was the creation of TiddlyWeb and TiddlySpace. TiddlyWeb was a robust, internet scale server for tiddlers that could also compose TiddlyWiki views of those tiddlers. TiddlySpace was an attempt to package TiddlyWeb into a more directly usable form.
! Leaving BT
//To be continued...//
By the end of 2011 I was increasingly feeling that I would be better placed to realise the potential of TiddlyWiki outside of the corporate confines BT. Accordingly, I left and started work as an independent developer, primarily working on a brand new reboot of TiddlyWiki in the shape of TiddlyWiki5.

Welcome to ~TiddlyWiki, a versatile note-taking web application you can download for free, store wherever you like, customize however you wish, and use to take / organize / share your notes in ways that word processors and other note-taking tools cannot. ~TiddlyWiki is designed to be non-linear, structuring content with stories, tags, hyperlinks, and other features, so that you can organize and retrieve your notes in ways that conform to your personal thought patterns, rather than feel chained to one preset organizational structure.

You can use ~TiddlyWiki as a single file that you view and edit through any web browser, whether you are online or offline. Or you can use it as a powerful [[Node.js application|TiddlyWiki on Node.js]] that stores each of your notes as a separate file.
