Marc Canter links to Peter Van Dijck’s excellent illustrated semantic web debate. This is a really captivating interface idea.
Basically it is a set of quotes in the endless pedantic [sic] web debate next to pictures of people. It reads very much like a cartoon with speech bubbles next to faces and somehow comes to life much better than a threaded discussion.
I would like to see the inclusion of a picture (and one-line-bio) of someone next to a trackback item so that you could better follow a distributed discussion that linked to an original posting via trackback.
