A looong time ago I used to use a utility called SequoiaView (Linux equivelant is KDirStat). Treemaps were the answer to be able to view a huge amount of data when constrained by space.
I wonder why we don't see more implementation of this in other aspects of the Internet Tablet?
See PhotoMesa as an example of browsing through photos via metadata; and my favourite, Newsmap as a means of browsing the latest news.
The ideas have been extended to support viewing other types of data such as the stockmarket.
Think we should explore this form of HCI for internet tablets? Say as a means of browsing MP3 albums, images, logfiles, etc?
