This time I was at ID&T Innercity, the biggest and finest Holland indoor music festival! ;) This year they changed concept of party. This year main theme was music and not fancy show (Las Vegas,...)! Great party with touch of "underground" music!

March 1989
First project proposal written and circulated for comment (TBL) . Paper "HyperText and CERN" (in ASCII or WriteNow format) produced as background.
October 1990
Project proposal reformulated with encouragement from CN and ECP divisional management. RC is co-author.
November 1990
Initial WorldWideWeb prototype developed on the NeXT (TBL) .
November 1990
Nicola Pellow joins and starts work on the line-mode browser . Bernd Pollermann helps get interface to CERNVM "FIND" index running. TBL gives a colloquium on hypertext in general.
Christmas 1990
Line mode and NeXTStep browsers demonstrable. Acces is possible to hypertext files, CERNVM "FIND", and internet news articles.
We all remember Netscape vs. Microsoft Internet Explorer war, Hotmail offering free e-mail, Yahoo!, eBay, Amazon and of course Google! Probably i forgot some of the important factors in todays World Wide Web. ;-)

Microsoft's research released a free tool to help users slog through e-mail messages in their inbox in the order of importance, according to one of the researchers who developed the software. Created within Microsoft Research, the Social Relationship and Network Finder, or SNARF, is an application that uses the same database as a user's e-mail client to count the number of times users send and receive messages from people.
Overview
Microsoft Research's Community Technology presents SNARF, the Social Network and Relationship Finder.
SNARF was built around the notion that social network information that is already available to the computer system can be usefully reflected to the user: a message from a manager might be seen differently than a message from a stranger, for example. SNARF applies this idea to email triage: handling the flow of messages when time is short and mail is long.
The SNARF UI is designed to provide a quick overview of unread mail, organized by its importance. The UI shows a series of different panes with unread mail in them; each pane shows a list of authors of messages. Clicking on a name shows all messages involving that person.
People use a variety of strategies to handle triage; there is no single "best" ordering of email messages to produce an optimal outcome.
SNARF gives the user the freedom to build their own ordering. Each person in their inbox is assigned a set of meta-information: "number of emails sent in the last month," for example. These metrics can, in turn, be combined to create an ordering across all contacts. For more information, check out the CEAS paper on SNARF.
