Yup, but Tim talks of : [[ All computer applications fall into one of three baskets: information retrieval, database interaction, and content creation. History shows that the Web browser, or something like it, is the right way to do the first two. ]] Google similarly only covers the first two. But surely the 3-basket view is a very backwards-looking approach. Without content creation intimately linked with IR and *processing* I don't think we're going get anything like the full benefit of the web. All we have without the fusion is broadcast media, with at best a load more community channels. The browser is the best interface in the current environment in the same way the remote control is the best TV interface. Cheers, Danny.
