Until 37 signals allows me to use my own trusted server, I'll never use their products. I do, however, love the stuff they make.
What I've found is that simple is always better. I've run through several ideas before settling on a simple wiki (DokuWiki if you're interested). It has a clean layout (at least with the theme I picked), nice search, is easy to use, is easy to get out of if you change your mind (vendor lock-in sucks). Not to mention it costs nothing and Wikis will probably be around for a long time, so the software wouldn't quickly be abandoned (it's open source!)
I have pages setup for everything from vendor lists to code snippets to notes from articles I've read online. Every project I work on gets its own Wiki page that I update regularly with notes, timelines, e-mails, decisions, to-dos, milestones, whatever. I could come back a year from now, or two years, and see exactly how a project went, what decisions were made and how to avoid problems with certain clients.
I highly recommend using a Wiki.
