I've started to think about all this as "Reusable Info".

What is really happening in these days is that new ways to store, distribute and manage information are seeing the light on almost daily bases. All this will have a huge impact on how we work, live and communicate, but it's not yet very clear how.

At evectors we are experimenting every day all these new communication channels, and we try to put some sense in all this from a work environment POV.

Basically what is happening is that every piece of information, every idea, every concept, every document is getting its own url. You can access it and reuse it. All borders between you desktop and the rest of the universe are fading, you can borrow the search capabilities of Google's powerful servers from within your favourite application, or you can read news from the New York Times on the same page containing the news from your co-worker telling you what's up today.

Hmmm, it's going to be interesting... very interesting.
