Right, agree =)

For zeitgeist it's basically what should appear when you click on
"Browse" on the documents section of the shell, i.e. all your
documents ordered by time and searchable makes a lot of sense to me.

Tracker the arguments are more complex; I think what they're
effectively arguing is not that one individual use case but more the
network effects from having all of them in one database ("where did I
put that download from the email from Nancy" maybe?).  I'm not sure.
But I won't attempt to summarize the previous thread.  I would like to
see some sample UI though in something.
