Ted Nelson’s Zig Zag

Hypertext inventor Ted Nelson was out at Stanford today for a talk where he ranted about the sorry state of the web and demonstrated Zig Zag, a way of organizing information. I need to see if I can get it to run under MacPerl. If not, then it’s time to get a Linux box.

Nelson invented two common place concepts over twenty years ago: bi-directional hypertext links and rights management. See his homepage for an example of the latter.
