Managing the Info Flow
Categories: Tech
Following my brother's advice, I set up a Bloglines account today. It's a great example of Web 2.0 tech; it keeps all of your blog info in one place, so all the news is in one place. Now I have one page where I can go to for everything from international news (courtesy of the BBC) to checking in on my brother and progress on his VW rebuild.
When setting up my blog feeds for bloglines, I noticed Tim blogging about Tiddlywiki (cute, huh?). It's wiki software that is very dynamic -- there are hyperlinks everywhere. Clicking on one brings up that entry in the top of the center column, sort of like a blog, but organized by topic rather than date of entry. At any time you can close one or all of the entries you've brought up. I have only looked briefly at the Tiddly, but it seems very cool. I think there are lots of educational and personal uses for such a thing, as well as some epistemological issues brought up by such a dynamic (and ideosyncratic) way of organizing knowledge.
