The Iron Yuppie

A friend of mine passed this along to me recently: Onfolio. The basic summary is that it's a single place in which you can store and search all kinds of data as you're browsing around the web. The problem is, of course, that you have no idea what you wanted to save until some time after you passed by it. I've actually seen some pretty cool technologies come down the pipe that allow searching through histories and e-mail that you've seen for whatever you remember. That's so much more useful. The way that it seems to me that all our minds work is that we put some random marker on data that we come across and only using that flag will help us to get it back. So if I have a conversation at lunch that I want to reflect back on, and I remember that we talked about wearing a green shirt today, that's what I'm going to need to put search by. Which is exactly why I think the manual folder creation that Onfolio provides will not really work for all but the anal.
