I've mentioned Wiki's before. They are open collaborative web spaces. Very cool. You could use a subset of their capabilities to run a weblog. But they go far beyond that into something more like what I always imagined was possible with hypertext information storage (and presentation.) They are many dimensional, and many directional. A real idea space (where a weblog is more like an idea timeline.) So I'm already impressed, but now that I've found Bill Seitz's Thinking Space I am completely blown away. Both by the Wiki technology, and by all the information Bill has collected. The hardest thing about it is that it's unclear where to point someone to best get them started. There's so much there there. The link above is to a weblog like view. Here's a more general information page. If you're interested in information spaces (I almost want to say 'externalizing the brain') you have to check out his site. Keep clicking. It takes some work, but there is a lot to reward in there.
