Tinderbox Day

Tinderbox is a spatial hypertext system  that helps people make, analyze, and share notes.

Over the past five years, Tinderbox has gained an enthusiastic following amongst professionals and scholars of many fields, from art education to forensic psychiatry, from plotting thrillers to political analysis.  It joins a simple, flexible, and open data model to rich visualization and representation facilities, seeking to place the tools of knowledge representation at the disposal of the people who need them most urgently and can benefit from them most directly.

Tinderbox or Tinderbox upgrade is available for registered delegates of Hypertext 2008 with a discount of $50.

Tinderbox Day Pittsburgh will focus on TINDERBOX CONSTRUCTION: using Tinderbox with other tools to build documents, workflows, and to capture and reflect upon new ideas.
