Oh, yeah, the 'net. THE user interface which "handles" the huge amount of data.

For me it's google that handles it, not the web pages or the browsers.
In fact, all the data in the net is useless without a search engine
that filters out most of the unrelated the crap.

You are right that spatial mode is not good for massive amounts of
data, but to claim that browser mode somehow magically is is not
valid.

It may be better for hierarchies but that is not how you can manage
_massive_ amounts of data anyway.

Tag & search looks to me as the most valid management model, but there
is not a mode or integrated support for that (yet).
