There’s a constant cycle people go through online: searching and bookmarking; learning and remembering. But when telling people what I’ve learned, I don’t just give them the final “search results,” I tell them how I got there. Searching and bookmarking should be the same way.
I propose a Firefox plugin that not only remembers the history, but remembers the relationships between pages. This can be represented as a directed graph, with the nodes as pages and edges as to-from link clicks. Just like gitk, bookmarking would be represented by tagging nodes of the graph. New root nodes are introduced by directly browsing to a website. So when I want to show a friend how I found an awesome article that resulted from much digging, I can simply show my history graph.
