shared problems, different remedies

context-smashing
•search engines are teleportation devices
•drilling down to detail is easier than jumping up to an overview

ontological mismatch
•mismatch between the way things are searched for and the way they are organized.

•we still assume the teletype
•we need different presentation for different stages of information-finding
•we want more interactivity, please
