>Gee, Chris, are you sure you don't work for the marketing dept at pointcast?
Hehehe, nope. I'm just a worshipper and promoter of technology.

hehe. I'm sure there is enough information being produced. In fact... I
assure you. Information can be a drug as much as any chemical can.
Entertain yourself to death with information aimed directly at your
personal id. We will all end up like Bill Gates, sitting at our big screen
tvs or using virtual goggles 24 hours a day selecting the information we
find most promising and saving that for later in an endless list of
bookmarks we could never control.

Collective intelligence and Profiles is the key.

Perhaps the program could send your bookmarks to a server on the web using
encryption to ensure everything is secure and compare your bookmarks with
others and create a profile of your interests.
