Some of them are floating in cyberspace, others were lost in broken or erased harddisks and some has gone into hibernation in some dropbox directory. Seriously - I think I've created hundreds of them - all very different TiddlyWikis for different uses..
TiddlySpace has helped me get a little more organized, as it provides an overview of created spaces.
At the moment I use 4 dedicated TiddlyWikis (spaces) for everyday tasks. All jobrelated. Two of them I share with my students (read only, except for embedded/iframed typewith.me-documents) and one of them I share with my collegues (with writepermission, however I'm the only one contributing to it at the moment...). The last and most important one is working as my "controlcenter". Some of my tiddlers are loaded into the other spaces - so I don't have to edit them all directly to push content...
At least once or twice a week I visit some (ca. 4 or 5) of my other TiddlyWikis, which are hosted at TiddlySpot or at one of my own TiddlyHome services (I've got two working/customized installations of Bidix's TiddlyHome service).
The number of TiddlyWiki's I use (just for reference or edits) in one week is 8 - 10 or more... I also checkout other people's TiddlyWikis - so I'm not sure.
Every year I prepare multiple TWs for exams (I have new students who graduate every summer). Some of those TWs contain notes for my students and other TWs contain or refer to material prepared for my censors. I print my TiddlyWikis to pdf-portefolios and mail links to online versions of both.
3 years ago I would use notepad/OpenOffice or MsOffice to write/create this sort of material. Today I prefer to use a customized TiddlyWiki.
When I occasionally use MsOffice programs at work, it's often just to be able to copy/paste material from a TW for printing - or work with tables in MsExcel - which I will often copy back into a TiddlyWiki :-)
At every meeting I attend, I use TiddlyWiki as a note/write tool, as a portefolio and as a working database containing data, images and notes about all my students, collegues, calendar with notifications, workplans, ideas, iframed webmail etc ... I even use single local network TWs as Faq-documents which I prepare for my collegues. TW is my swiss armyknife at my job, and it certainly helps me to stay organized at all times... When I publish material for my students I use a TW. Sometimes I set it up as a presentation, which I use in education.
When I'm at home, I have small projects which also involve TW to some extent. TWScrapbooks with bookmarks, iframes etc.. I create private or public tutorials, embed images, make small or big changes to the layout, add plugins or scripts from other TWs I've made etc...
Today TiddlyWiki is my single most important tool for everything which involves using a computer.... and sometimes I think that all I need from an operating system is a browser, so I can use a TW....
