memex

Another undocumented feature of Tinderbox: I use five different browsers on two different machines, and keeping track of URLs is hard. So I downloaded a good shareware bookmark program for OS X. Then it occured to me: why not try to just drag the URL from the browser's address window into Tinderbox? Of course it works. Now I can annotate the URLs, sort them, search them, manipulate them, collect them with agents, use them in Web pages. Increasingly, Tinderbox becomes my memex. It is always running, and where everything is. I agree with Jill, it should be an operative system. It should run on my Palm. But I would be happy if I just could get a browser as good as Tinderbox.
