What is Luminotes? Luminotes is an online wiki notebook that is available to you for free. 'K, the wiki thing? I know, I need to explain that too. You probably hear wiki all the time and you don't really know what it means. Let me explain it briefly.

Wiki is a backronym for 'What I Know Is'--a backronym in the sense that the phrase was suggested to stand for wiki instead of wiki being derived from it. The term wiki in Hawaiian, means 'fast'. But the word wiki as used in a vast number of online references implies web pages that are created using a wiki software. A wiki software is a software that allows pages to be created and edited using a common web browser. It is implemented by running a software engine that utilizes a file system to store content files and a relational database management system to store changes to the files.

So a wiki notebook is simply a notebook that you can create and edit endlessly. Luminotes is one wiki notebook that is available online for free. It lets you take down notes as quickly as ideas pop into your head while you are browsing the net, doing a research or working on a project. You can easily add notes, switch notes, link notes, hide notes, share notes, or upload notes with Luminotes.
