>>backflip - this privately-held company does look very interesting, a new twist on personal web portals yahoo or aol should acquire them now if they want to prevent a rival from growing<< Analyst John Kaiser on Backflip: Thoughtshare versus Backflip or freedom versus enslavement Thoughtshare goes beyond backflip.com in that its "knowledge objects", or "tours" as I called them and which apparently have been renamed as "ThoughtMaps", are portable. A ThoughtMap can exist as a file you can email as an attachment to anybody. As such it can form part of any document posted to the Internet. Access to a ThoughtMap can be unrestricted or password controlled. Whereas backflip.com hoards everybody's personalized "Yahoo" directories on its mega site, ThoughtMaps will zing around the Internet freely. Users will store their ThoughtMap directories on their own computers, or Thoughtserve parkades that Internet Access Providers or other web sites will purchase from Thoughtshare and offer their members. Backflip.com as a mega site host belongs to the "control freak" genre of Internet functions. You want it? Gotta give your soul to backflip.com! Thoughtshare appeals to the individualism of Internet users. Backflip.com offers a blackbox solution to your problem of organizing your Internet bookmarks, but Thoughtshare provides a visual means of mapping out the log of your Internet surfing session and an interactive means of reorganizing that session by deleting dud destinations, re-arranging the sequence, and annotating pages with comments. On top of that, you can share your Thoughtmap with anybody, who in turn can send it back in a modified and enhanced form. The ability to tour the ThoughtMap again and again in live sessions allows for its refinement into avery sophisticated knowledge object. www.thoughtshare.com Kaisers report: 207.194.6.15 Waldo
