I suppose for it to work the different apps still have to allow drag and drop?So your monetization would be superusers paying for this app to allow them to do this kind of thing, can you already do it via copy and paste operations?

I've been digging into the Memex, and Ted Nelson's take on it with Transclusion for a while now. I know he, REALLY, REALLY thinks it's a great idea... I remain unconvinced at a gut level, though intellectually I suspect Ted is right.I'm beginning to think a new type of bookmark with 2 ends instead of 1 might be the way to go in terms of meeting this type of functionality in building an associative trail.

Please don&rsquo;t abbreviate words that are already very short, it detracts from the legibility of your text. This is not Twitter, the character limit on HN is more than generous enough to allow complete words.
