Hello to all!
Here's a link to the world's first attempt - at least the first I know of - to create a system for sharing outliner-based information over the internet. The info is at:
http://radio.outliners.com/beta
And the free 30-day trial download is at:
http://radio.userland.com/download
This approach is from Dave Winer and friends of Userland. Our company, Advanced Data Management Systems, has been interested in sharing outliner-based information over the internet for some years; we have our own approach (only conceptual at this point), which we sometimes call the `World Wide Outline'; and we're very happy to see an actual working initiative in this area.
Cordially, Eric Sommer P.S. Please let me know if you are using - or going to try to use - the new Userland technology..PPS. Our software is at http://www.adm21.net

Hello Eric and everyone....
I only understand about 20% of what Dave is talking about on his radio.userland page, but the metaphor is amazing....and a little unsettling. Everyone's life is an outline with instantly updateable and shareable subtopics. So I can start an outline whose subtopics are (for example) work, relationships, or anything else I want, and essentially pour my life into the outline. I can be superficial, or map out my whole life in unsparing detail. Yikes.
We've come a certain distance from Thinktank, eh?
PS Eric, I'm still trying to work ADM into my routine with mixed success (mostly because I'm fairly invested in other software), but I'm plugging away. Will ADM serve as the base for your online outline-based info share product?
Best,
Jon
