I've been digging into the Memex, and Ted Nelson's take on it with Transclusion for a while now. I know he, REALLY, REALLY thinks it's a great idea... I remain unconvinced at a gut level, though intellectually I suspect Ted is right.

I'm beginning to think a new type of bookmark with 2 ends instead of 1 might be the way to go in terms of meeting this type of functionality in building an associative trail.
