Folders V.S Tagging V.S Graphs V.S. MOCs
Folders
Each item can only be on one folder at a time, often the support nesting in a tree. This is often too rigid to be useful.
Tagging
Tagging allows one note to be attached to many tags. These are much more flexible, BUT often leads to a small amount of categories that are infinitely deep.
Graph
A graph is when you take the notes and you directly connect them to one another so while the graph may be complex if you look at the local graph (just the notes that are connected to one note) then you can more easily explore related ideas leading to inspiration
