/dev/eternity

Introduction

There is cat /dev/null for things uninteresting. Let's build cat /dev/eternity for things that are interesting...

I regularly come accross interesting websites, links, mails, papers, etc, that I want to read or spend more time on later. In other words, I want to keep a reference to them somewhere.

Functionality

I could of course dump them into a textfile (in fact, that's what i do right now). But what i would really like is to be able to send them to a program that
  • asks me for a rough classification of the item (mainly so that i can always find it back),
  • semantically analyses the item, and crosslinks it with all related items in the store, and
  • makes the store accessible through the web, making crosslinks browsable with a userinterface like The Brain , and adding blog/wiki style user feedback.

Implementation

If only!!
