In 1945, Vannevar Bush wrote a very famous essay «As we may think» in which he proposed a system he called «Memex»[9] which described the basic features of MyLifeBits, the web, and many more things. So I propose the name «Memacs» for this tool which is going to be developed soon. This could be epic :-) 9. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex -- Karl Voit
