“Bush’s answer to this problem was the Memex, of course, but what I find interesting is the mechanism by which the Memex is made potent – the mechanism for capturing the traces of a researcher’s discovery through the Memex’s corpus, and storing those traces as intelligence so the next researcher can learn from them and build upon them.
Searchstreams [(and) Clickstreams], I realized, are the DNA which will build the Memex from the flat soil of search as it’s currently understood, the [seeds that will grow into][a new ecology of potential knowledge]. [T]he Memex [will be the spade that turns the Internet's soil]. Engines that leverage [clickstreams (and)] searchstreams [[and do-streams]] will make link analysis-based search (ie, nearly all of commercial search today) look like something out of the pre-Cambrian era.”
