I never used to be a real hard-core shareware buyer, but I’ve been on a bit of a tear lately. My latest purchase: VoodooPad, winner of O’Reilly’s second Mac OS X Innovators contest.

It’s basically a Wiki disguised as a Mac OS X application. I’ve tried a million strategies for stashing notes to myself, and I’m not actually even that optimistic that VoodooPad will be that much better for me — but it might be, and for $10, I almost felt obliged just to honor its author’s achievement!

There’s been some recent activity around the idea of networking an application like this, so I’m particularly curious to see if Gus picks up on that and adds Rendezvous support and/or the ability to serve a VoodooPad as a web site. (There are some feature enhancements logged for things like this.) You can already export a VoodooPad as HTML (or RTF or XML or various iPod formats!) but I think it would be particularly elegant to just click a button on the VoodooPad toolbar and have it start serving web requests!
