13|A peek at the Ultimate Info System

February 22nd, 2006 by Marcel Ursprung

Thus far the “Ultimate Personal Info System” has eluded all my search efforts. I’m starting to wonder if I’m looking for something that doesn’t exist?

Maybe my criteria to qualify as the “Ultimate” system are somewhat demanding, but not at all unreasonable. I have seen every feature in one solution or another, but never all in one. Here is my list of 30 features that I think the Ultimate system should have. I didn’t bother including obvious feature such as: security and printing.

1. It must easy to use
2. Friendly and intuitive interface
3. Article taging (folksonomy)
4. Article categories (taxonomy)
5. Unlimited subcategories
6. RSS and Atom Feeds of individual categories
7. RSS and Atom Feeds of individual tags
8. Description big enough to store an entire article
9. Store as an article, bookmark, or article with bookmark
10. Public, User Group and Private bookmarks and articles
11. Article commenting
12. Article versioning control
    
13. Related tags and articles, from group and public
14. Straight Text and WYSIWYG editor (html)
15. Assign personal rank system (how useful is the data)
16. Order search results by personal rank
17. Search tags, categories, headlines, and description/articles
18. Import bookmarks from browser
19. Add bookmarks, and text samples from browser toolbar (without loading application)
20. Export database as XML
21. Import database as XML
22. A home page, with most used resources
23. Tabbed articles
24. Multiple open articles
25. Always visible scratch pad
26. Send to friend feature
27. Convert article to PDF
28. Ability to cache bookmarks/urls
29. Store cached bookmarks as articles
30. Absolute Search Engine friendly URLs to articles

There are a few solutions that have many of these features, but I have yet to find a solution that meets all the key features described (bold features). So the search will continue for the rest of the week until we have a good solution.
