Two days ago, I posted about unalog. Guess who posted about unalog way back in August of 2004? Yours truly, but since I'm editing in a browser, there's not much of an automated help option out there. Even worse, I had much more context in the first post.
What would it take to ameliorate this problem? Writing tools tied to retrospection tools. Jeff Jarvis likes to chirp about news being fishwrap, so free the archives. But as Steven Berling Johnson points out, good tools make archives quite valuable.
And I still want a nickel for every time the Memex is invoked.
