Here's an intriguing idea for augmenting a browser's history mechanism: Our next project was Clio, an approach to allowing a person to browse her own web history through a dialogue with an intelligent assistant. The user can say things like "Show me that page about cars I was looking at last week" and the system will find the page, possibly narrowing down the choices by asking questions such as "Do you mean the one about sports cars or the one about sedans?". Unfortunately, though we had many ideas and several implementations, we never published any findings. perkowitz.net 10:45:27 PM    comment
