Annotated bookmarks

[Peter Cappello]

A long time ago, I sent some mail concurring with the view that bookmarks  
should allow for annotations, but it never seemed to appear (in my mail).

Again, I can envision bookmarks becoming a very important, even saleable  
resource.  To better organize a large number of them, it might be useful to do  
so in a way that parallels files: have a user-defined folder hierarchy, and use  
a browser-type object to navigate them (a bookmark also should be allowed in  
more than 1 folder).  


If your bookmark space is valuable to you, it also may be valuable to others.   
Thus, having a convenient way in OmniWeb to incorporate (via copying or  
linking) other people's bookmark folders into one's own hierarchy may leverage  
organizing efforts.  (This feature might result in cyberspace communities whose  
information is organized "spontaneously.")

It might also be useful to be able to perform queries on one's  
bookmark-annotation space, retrieving relevant bookmarks.  Although, if  
bookmark hierarchies are distributed (via the link feature mentioned above),  
then such queries also would be distributed, with their attendant challenges.
