Weird, I just found out about something called a Zettelkasten [1] which 
rather reminds me of the ideas behind the Memex and was thinking it 
would be an excellent addition to Cuis. It's a kind of hyperlinked note 
system that works as an extension of your mind.

[2] It's much more sophisticated than the wikipedia article indicates.
