Bumped into a fascinating presentation by Jerry Michalski on his use of TheBrain for 15 years: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzQkJ4lleKk

I found it to be a very interesting and thought-provoking video, regardless of your views of the underlying application platform. Highly recommended!!

His 15-year TheBrain model can be accessed online at http://www.jerrysbrain.com/

A couple of notable points for me:

13:22 Reliance on Wayback machine vs. importing and creating a massive local index

14:02 The view of tools like TheBrain as an instrument and not as an appliance

22:36 Collaborative Sense-making

23:36 The impact of the business models of “industries of culture”

Enjoy!
