One last feature item.  If we had a system like the one below, why not include the option to author e-mails as an outline?  It would make it easier to organize thoughts and annotate replies to e-mails received in outline form.   Imagine a lawyer or doctor working with a tool like this.  Drag and drop some outlined case… Continue reading one below

Also, why can't e-mail have a shortcuts feature (like Radio) or Activewords?  To include some contact info for a person, I should be able to type their name in double quotes and have it show up.  If I have a “canned” statement I would like to be able to type the name of that statement… Continue reading Radio

Hmm.  This makes me wish my e-mail system was a self-organizing outliner.  The biggest problem with Outlook is that it makes it difficult to categorize/archive mail and make rules.  Here's some of the attributes I would like to see: Top level nodes would develop around people or type (mail-list).  Contact info for people available via v-card would… Continue reading This

The great advantage in having PhDs and doctoral students discussing on… Continue reading Diving more deeply into facets

Although I talk about weblogging software, there's no reason this format can't apply to other forms of web client/system software that I wasn't considering, or may not even… Continue reading RFC: Really Simple Discoverability

Nobody expects the spontaneous integration. To me the most surprising thing about the LibraryLookup project is that the results are surprising. Why? We should all expect these kinds of spontaneous integrations, and take them for granted. Yet nobody expects the spontaneous integration. If we want to raise the bar, I suggest we start by asking… Continue reading Nobody expects the spontaneous integration

Is it software?. Is it software? asks Dave. That's such a great question! From the moment I first saw an HTML form on a Web page, it was clear that boundaries were about to blur. Web pages are both documents and programs. Websites are both publications and applications. URLs are both phrases and function calls.… Continue reading Is it software?

I think I've finally got my Christmas shopping done.  Yay!
