Meta-access problem for academics

Apart from being the lead designer of Hookmark and mySleepButton at CogSci AppsCorp., and author of CogZest books, I am an adjunct prof at Simon Fraser University.

I designed Hookmark primarily for academics. It happens that solving the meta-access problem for academics also solves it for everyone else.

If you are an academic or anyone who works with many knowledge resources on a Mac, I invite you to consider using Hookmark.

Here is a slightly redacted version of a recent message I sent to the team at TextExpander..
