What is it 2007? An interesting article would draw the comparison between the three waves of filesystem access (command line, desktop, and no-filesystem filesystem) and search. Then we might get an interesting discussion about how search is really just a CLI where none of the commands are published, so a psuedo-CLI. Want to be the next google? figure out the desktop metaphor for search.
- rahoulb 15y agoSlightly tangential, but this is my favourite Gruber article (from 2004 - some would say he's been going downhill since then): http://daringfireball.net/2004/06/location_field http://daringfireball.net/2004/06/location_field - "The Location field is the new Command Line". The article itself is mainly about the Win32 API (and Spolsky's excellent "How Microsoft lost the API War") but what you said about pseudo-CLIs made me think of it.
