"If you bought a computer a few years ago, it would invariably come with a free CD-Rom encyclopedia. At the time it seemed like a life-changer, but after an hour or two spent looking at ancient wildlife clips and a timeline about the Romans, the excitement wore off. Today’s internet equivalents are bigger, faster and more interactive, whether you’re helping youngsters with their homework or cramming for the pub quiz."

Annotea is a system for creating and publishing shareable annotations of Web documents. Built on HTTP, RDF, and XML, Annotea provides an interoperable protocol suitable for implementation within Web browsers to permit users to attach data to Web pages such that other users may, at their choice, see the attached data when they later browse the same pages. The Annotea protocol works without modifying the original document; that is, there is no requirement that the user have write access to the Web page being annotated. The Annotea protocol is suitable both for annotation data that is expected to be primarily for human viewing as well as annotation data that is expected to be consumed by other application programs, such as automatic classification tools, search engines, and workflow applications.

Mylyn is a task-focused interface for Eclipse that reduces information overload and makes multi-tasking easy. It does this by making tasks a first class part of Eclipse, and integrating rich and offline editing for repositories such as Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA. Once your tasks are integrated, Mylyn monitors your work activity to identify relevant information, and uses this task context to focus the user interface on the task-at-hand. This puts the information you need at your fingertips and improves productivity by reducing searching, scrolling, and navigation. By making task context explicit Mylyn also facilitates multitasking, planning, reusing past efforts, and sharing expertise.

Interesting article from Minsky.The things i wonder about how can ppl use the idea from the article to memorize, infer and make sense of the information. Minsky talks about 4 important agents:feature-finder,measure-maker,difference-finder and structure-bilder.Those should work together to make a sense of a sense.
