‘Copy, Paste and Meta’ – part 1

December 19, 2007 by jerome

A while ago at Electronest, Pierre and I discussed about an application which could use the clipboard to create a book. Since this, the idea received a bit of attention from my graphic designers friends and this evening it came to my mind that this bit of code was in fact quite close from what Internet was supposed to be if for some reason it didn’t take the path of the World Wild Web, but the path from Xanadu.

Here is a schema of how it could work:

  • 1/ I copy the bit of text (in this example)
  • 2/ I paste it
  • 3/ the pasted text is accompanied by information about the source
