Possible Prior Art for Kootol Patent, dated 2001 (or maybe 2000)

The Kootol patent application for UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND DESKTOP SEARCH SYSTEM has a priority date of 22 July 2005 (if I’ve read the application right).

The prior art is my “Miski” concept:

• Copy of Miski Paper on Wayback I dated the paper 3 June 2000, however the earliest available snapshot on Wayback is 23 February 2001.
• A later blog entry of mine giving some background: How I Invented Social Bookmarking

(Update: I have written a fuller explanation here.)

Webstock 2011

This is my first tumblr post. Yesterday I went to Webstock, and today I’m going again.

Yesterday I didn’t have any electronics with me. But today I’ll take my ipad, and maybe do some tumblr posts while I’m there.
