Is this information type popular for everyone?
Yes No
Common PIM programs meeting in Outlook, to-do in Remember the Milk
“Long Tail”
guitar tabs, shopping lists
Homeless PIM data
meeting in a note file
One-offs
MAC address
Yes
Is this information type popular for me? No
But we found we were trying to do too much. We can characterize the infoscrap space as:
Information scraps: long tail, “short head”, one-offs

Lightweight entry/access and visibility played the biggest roles here
for example, having your todo list always visible and easy to annotate.
Also, the freeform, uncommitted nature of scraps as a method of cognitive support
for instance, if the appointment had no time chosen yet or needed to mind-map.  
Finally, mobility.

6. Help the user avoid creating information scraps in the first place
Goal
Help the user avoid creating information scraps in the first place by
speeding up capture

7. Goal Bring the GUI back into the command language, as:
Cognitive support: What room number is Rob again? When is two weeks from Tuesday?
Speed enhancements: e.g., autocomplete
Window into your existing applications: what’s my schedule two weeks from tuesday?
“mtg with rob miller 4/1”
