I took a look at it and I have to say that Jerry Michalski’s Brain isn’t impressive at all. It is just a bunch of meaningless (mostly wikipedia) links. He doesn’t use most features of TheBrain. There aren’t even notes in it – it’s barely hypertextual.

But those deep links really seem to solve some major real life problems. I can’t wait for those revolutionary applications…

Wow: “For instance, ThinkUp, from Gina Trapani and Anil Dash, will mine your Twitter and Facebook activity for insights and patterns — then deliver the information to you, not to a marketer.”

Yes, I find myself in a situation like this almost everyday: “For instance, you’re reading a New York Times travel story about Barcelona. You want to book an Airbnb there pronto. On your phone, you’d have to exit your New York Times app, then start up your Airbnb app and search for Barcelona in it. In a Web browser, you could have clicked straight through from one site to the other — and landed directly on a page of Barcelona listings.”
