Why have online sticky notes all failed in the past?

• People want a local copy of their notes
• The notes need to track the content, if a news story isn't on the front page anymore, the notes need to move to where the story is.
• Lack of message threading
• Either too few people for communication, or way too many
• Show your friends notes first

Hyperscope

• Lets you reference individual paragraphs, sentences, words, instead of only pages.
• One of the things that Doug Engelbart wishes that he would have done with hypertext is that we didn't have this level of granularity with referencing content.
