Pathway

I had a look at the application Pathway (0.5). This application allows the user to view and traverse WikiPedia. Although the application isn't really a MicroContent Client as it works on web-page, it has an interesting feature. This feature is the pane with the wikipedia network nodes. For a specific page, it shows the related wikipages as determined by the links on the original page. Thus the user can quickly see what pages are related. And by clicking on a node the user sees the specific Wikipedia page in the view-pane.

I do not like the graphic network node view. I rather have a multiple column browser such as uses in WebnoteHappy. That is much more efficient. And once clicked on another page the related pages are not retrieved.

Anyway it is an interesting way to represent the MicroWeb, which can be used by other clients.
