- Whenever you find a spelling or factual mistake on any web page,
you immediately look for the “edit this page” button - When you see a spelling mistake on your own web site, you immediately
look for the “history” button to find out what moron added it - Putting hyperlinks in HTML documents is such a pain because typing
[[whatever|link]] is so much
easier than <a href="http://whatever“>link - When writing plain-text email, you try to emphasize a word using
'''word''' - You wish your email client supported categories: being able to add multiple
categories to an email would be so cool (All joking aside, this would
be quite a cool feature*) - You see a short web page lacking in content and want to add
{{stub}} - You see something on a web site that doesn’t seem right, and you want to leave
a message on the talk page asking about it - You eye your kids’ toys, wondering if they really play with them anymore,
whether they’d notice if they vanished, and how much you could get for them. Oops,
wrong list — that should be on the Top Ten Signs You Use eBay Too Much - You wish the web had a “watchlist” so you could find out which web pages
have changed recently without having to actually visit those pages (though I
suppose that’s what RSS is for) - You click on a hyperlink that takes you to a 404 error page, and
you wonder why the original link wasn’t red
* I have frequently been looking for a particular email and cannot
remember
what folder I saved it in. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to “save” it to
multiple folders without replicating the message numerous times? If I’m looking
for a message from my boss regarding IPv6 in SuSE Linux, did I save it in a folder
called “Mark”? OK, so that would probably have been dumb, but was it “IPv6” or
“Linux” or “SuSE”? If
I could mark the message with a bunch of different tags (eg. “Mark IPv6 SuSE
Linux”), then I could look in any one of those folders and find it. Blogger.com
just added this feature for blog articles, and I love it; it’s also
similar to the way you can save bookmarks at del.icio.us. Are you
listening Thunderbird or
Outlook people?
