- What you tell us is part of the disorientation problem frequently reported by
- hypertext users ("lost in hyperspace"). In my opinion, the solution you propose
- - adding a hierarchical view of the docuverse like in gopherspace - makes a lot
- of sense. Therefore Hyper-G, the hypermedia system that we are currently
- developing offers not only a pure hypertext user interface metaphor, but
- combines it with a hierarchy of browsable and searchable "collections" and
- so-called "guided tours" where you can follow trails you or anybody else has
- previously defined.
