It's true. It seems strange to me that there hasn't been any innovation in the way we organize files in a long time, especially with the trend towards touch-based interfaces and focus on user experience.

Wasn't Mozilla at some point working on a browser based global identity system?

I can't seem to find information about it anymore.

These were all things before my time. I appreciate you bringing them up, Lifestreams too, gives me interesting things to read and think about.

I really like that idea. That way it would be completely up to the application creator to make the experience of organizing data make sense in context.

Don't you think that having so many ways of organizing data might just lead to confusion? For you or me it might seem great to have so many options, but for the average computer user I feel like it could be pretty overwhelming.

That's where I get caught up. At the moment it's very hard for me to imagine all the makers of web apps agreeing upon such things. But at the same time, I can't imagine a future where apps can't swap data with the ease they could on the desktop.

I certainly agree with that.

But do you think that in the future people will use one central application to organize their data, or will we organize it inside of the apps we use?

The fact that Ben jumped on this, made changes, AND commited them in less than a day gives me a lot of confidence as a Tornado user.

Can anybody explain why this works in German?

It seems like in other languages it just reads out the letters.

Glad you like it!

I'll give some thought to charging :)

I've been thinking about making this web app for a while now. One night last week I finally coded it up.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

http://www.mibbit.com/ does this.

But when I last tried it I couldn't get onto Freenode and my guess is that their IPs are blocked on a lot of networks.

I work for a small software company that makes iPhone and Android applications. From what I understand we make much more from the iPhone apps. I'm not exactly sure why this is, but I think the store is just set up in a way that favors free apps. Also the Android store allows for VERY easy refunds.

I was looking for something like this the other day and couldn't find it.

This is awesome.

This makes me think of Star Wars.

Moisture farming anyone?

I was about to say the same thing. Not nearly as bad as unnecessary Flash but in this case, for a website so simple, it's just as wasteful.

That being said, cool site! And cool domain name!
