    Traction had the right interface for assigning categories and displaying
    the
    categories applied to nodes. They also had audit trails to show how
    categories
    changed. That makes it good interface model for categorizing things.

    Topic maps, of course, provide a much more substantive mechanism for
    actually defining categories, becuase of the richness of the
    relationships that
    occur between them. So a Traction-style interface coupled with Topic Map

    based "categories" (topics), would produce a heckuva a bang for the
    buck.

    I'm not familiar with memes.net categories, but got the idea from your
    message
    that they were useful, and that you were mentally designing solutions.
    The
    Traction-style interface looked like it would be part of a good
    solution.
