Planz to Put Our Digital Information in Its Place

Summary:
Planz is a system that overlays a file-folder system and provides a single, document like interface. This overlay uses XML fragments to provide references to files, emails, web pages, and informal notes. Links in the Planz document can be created via a "drag & link" method, where a user drags an external document to a location in Planz, or via an in-context link creation, where a new document is automatically linked in Planz. In evaluating Planz, it was found that while Planz is an improvement over the status quo in things like visibility, it is typically equal to or less useful the norm in thing like organizing new files and finding existing documents. As noted by a participant, this is likely because they had used Planz for about a week, while they had years of experience with mainstream systems.
