I look forward to hearing more about this. It does look interesting.
Here is one tidbit from their site:
With
Traction, you can flag paragraphs of the
same entry with tags like suggestion,
contact, competition and todo. With the
interactive form, it's as easy as adding a
color-coded Post-ItTM flag to a paper
document.
This ability to "categorize" information nodes is fundamental to
anything
we want to do. Two questions spring to mind:
1) Can the same node be in multiple categories
(that needs to be possible)
2) Theirs is a server-side system, yes? So any change in categorization
is seen by everyone, yes?
a) Who gets to make those changes?
b) In a distributed email-style system, are all such
categorizations still
seen by everyone? Or is there a separate "publish" step to make
them visible?
