Instead of this taking up a section, we could add a dedicated section at the end, linking to relevant awesome lists.
While bookmarking is of course useful during an OSINT investigation, it falls more under productivity tools, and not directly OSINT tools. This section was quite out of date, and I think that instead linking to a list like [jyguyomarch/awesome-productivity](https://github.com/jyguyomarch/awesome-productivity) at the end of the list, would be more valuable to readers.
This section doesn't have any relation to OSINT. Some items in this section were also very out-dated (such as http://konvergens.dk/zcom/), and some other items may even pose harm to users.
Again, this section (although including _some_ useful apps) does not relate to OSINT, and many of the links here have become unmaintained, and could possibly cause harm to users.
While creating decks may be involved in the OSINT process, there is no value in linking the user to MS Office, Canva, Google Slides, Keynote, etc. This does not relate to OSINT
Is not related to OSINT
Cloud storage services not relevant to OSINT I feel like there's also a danger in including links to unencrypted storage providers (like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc) as no OSINT investigator should be uploading potentially sensitive content to those public providers.
Editing images goes beyond OSINT, and would usually be considered as part of a social engineering engagement instead
…ols and storytelling Removed the sections on: Note-taking, Annotation Tools, Digital Publishing, Newsletter Tools and Digital Storytelling. Because these are not directly related to OSINT
The following sections relate more to general productivity than OSINT Collaboration and Project Management Communication Tools Calendars and Scheduling Mind Mapping, Concept Mapping and Idea Generation Tools
The following sections don't relate to OSINT, so may be better placed elsewhere: E-mail Management, Document and Reference Management, PDF Management, OCR Tools, Web Automation, Dashboard Tools and Wikis
This replaces a lot of the removed content, by linking to lists dedicated to those topics.

changed the title
I don't think there's any value in including links to podcast app/players, especially not propriety ones, and some on this list (like [podcastchart](https://podcastchart.com/)) are just parked domains.

Ace move. I agree w all these removals. Thank you so much Lissy! |

Hiya @jivoi
I know this PR might get shut down (and that's okay!), but I've gone through the list, and have proposed the removal of several sections which don't have any direct relation to OSINT. The reasoning being, that the excess fluff makes it harder for readers to find the actually useful tools included on the list.
Instead, I've replaced it with a section at the end, which links to related OSINT lists, around topics like security, cyber, privacy, threat intelligence, forensics, etc.
This relates to issue: #275
The following sections have been drafted for removal, and I've included reasoning for each in the body of their respective commit.
Feel free to edit as you see fit :)
