@David: You beat me to it.
@Jeff: āvisionary who came up with the original idea of clickable linksā. Not even close.
Memex was conceived when Ted Nelson was still in short pants. Hardly an original concep.
Xanadu as a product is obviously dead and had flaws from the beginning - but the ideas behind still shows the limitations of the Web and todays computer systems.
One of the most stupid limitations is Copy & Paste: You copied the ā17 rules of Xanaduā from the Xanadu FAQ but the reader has to reconstruct the connection. It is not obvious who wrote the original list (Andrew Pam at some time between 1994 and 2002) and whether you modified something or not (you modifed the numbering schema). I would prefer a Wiki-like diff with your article at one side and the source at the other and then browse the version history of the FAQ to see when which sections were added.
If Copy & Paste would be implemented as something like ācloneā and āmergeā from revision control systems, we almost had a kind of Xanadu.
True, but because of āfreeā most of the revenue that should go to writers, artists, coders, thinkers, designers, musicians, artists, publishers, presenters, promoters, entertainers, salesman, broadcasters, manufacturers, etc. goes to FANG. And the false, fake, scammy, spammy, and disingenuous are constantly aiming to overthrow the true, the real, the original, and the authentic, all to snag views and clicks, or to trick customers into one thing or another. That feels like a pretty big design flaw.
