There’s so much here – thanks for this, Ritz Bitz! First of all, I’m eager to hear what you think about Ted Nelson, whose vision for linking shares many of the insights you drew from Engelbart and “track changes.” Ahhhh, “track changes”! What a great illustration of how quantity and time can obscure the meaning of the connections. I’m wondering how this plays out in similar (or maybe not so similar?) ways in shared Google Docs when you look at the version history — it can be quite enlightening, and I’m always intrigued by the visual traces that multi-authored collaborations leave.
