Reinventing Copy and Paste: So, I’d love to see, as a user, a way for real rich data exchange to happen between the new wave of online applications. I’d like to see some efforts by (at least!) this group of vendors to make it possible to make compound documents between their applications, and then to choose from one or more tools for editing the discrete objects that make up those documents. And I’d like to be able to automate actions between these multiple tools without resorting to Greasemonkey hackery or convoluted browser tricks. [A good read. I wonder if we’re ever going to have more than the two types Dave talks about in this piece from ‘00? Are there any other types?]
