communicate by sharing information. Its universality is essential: the fact
that a hypertext link can point to anything, be it personal, local or global,
be it draft or highly polished. There was a second part of the dream, too,
dependent on the Web being so generally used that it became a realistic
mirror (or in fact the primary embodiment) of the ways in which we work and
play and socialize. That was that once the state of our interactions was on
line, we could then use computers to help us analyse it, make sense of what
we are doing, where we individually fit in, and how we can better work
together.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B095BFA8-AC79-4266-BCBC-9EB7980E975F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
