Search is Not All There – meta data, meta data, meta data. It’s too much for one person, but for a community? That depends on an altruistic community willing to enter meta data about a file.
What’s Hiding Behind Search-Based Navigation? – searching the web isn’t the same as a desktop search. On your desktop, you expect it to return the right answer first time, every time. On the web, well, read the article. It’s an interesting analysis of both.

I really want to investigate Javascript RPC. There are so many possibilities for creating rich clients in the browser using it, style sheets and dhtml. This short tutorial will give you a quick look into this world.

The PRGoogleBar adds page rank to the Google Bar for Mozilla, another reason not to use IE!
The Mozile inline editor looks promising. It allows one to edit xhtml documents within a web page in a WYSIWYG way. It might help to style the containing DIV a little so it actually looks like an editor however.
Here’s a nasty spoof to try in Mozilla or Firefox. It may not work in FF PR1 but in earlier browsers it’ll display a Paypal login screen that looks very authentic!

This is a nice effect and described well too. Check out the demo! He has another slideshow too! Cool!

Wikalong makes taking notes about websites easier. I’m sure I came across a Javascript/DOM version of this somewhere. Hmm. (via Jeremy who’s discussing A9 doing something very similar!)

PhpTiddlyWiki is TiddlyWiki with a PHP/MySQL backend. Source isn’t available yet, but it looks nice so far!

Everyone’s doing them, but there’s always room for more templates in my book! I like the design of that page too!

Or you could call TiddlyWiki a “javascript powered self-contained site”. Very impressive!
