The browser isnt just another program. Its an abstraction layer and so we need an interface to do all the things that are possible. Now that all work and fun happens in the browser, the browser does all things, the os-interface does, we need an interface that is same as powerful as the desktop/explorer. | The browser isnt just another program.

Overall, you've identified some real problems (and challenges) with the current state of bookmarks. There's an opportunity to make things better. I'd like to hear more details about your idea and designs, but unfortunately they are not available on this wiki as I'm writing this (date: 7 March 2011). | Overall, you've identified some real problems (and challenges) with the current state of bookmarks.

I liked the statement of the problem. Jim has already pointed out some basic flaws in the presentation (e.g. the use of "of course"). But my greatest problem was that I couldn't really figure out your solution based on the deliverables presented here. The needlessly noisy video would have done better with a verbal description of what was happening on-screen instead of the irrelevant music. | |||
A short statement that described how your application has solved the basic problems of bookmarking (that links/media go out of date or cannot be bookmarked at all) would have helped a lot. Although your ideas may be great, you have simply not succeeded in proving to me that you have done something truly remarkable. | |||
