Wrong, your whole operating system has to be re-designed! :D
- javert 18y agoThat's not true. I posted an example in a comment that is a cousin of this one.
- jokermatt999 18y agoHow would you say it needs to be redesigned?
- omouse 18y agoAll the linking that you can do with the web and the multiple representations of information have to be designed into your operating system. We've also learned that tagging combined with heirarchical categorization works really really well and the filesystem should be designed around that. Yes you can hack all that stuff on current operating systems but it isn't the same.
- javert 18y agoWell, you're talking about a slightly different issue than what I'm talking about. You're talking about making OS's more integrated with the Web. I'm talking about changing the Web to take full advantage of existing operating systems.
