 Abstract
 ========
 
-The Next Big Thing, in our opinion, is hyperstructure,
-a term we use to *denote* a storage model that allows 
-different data structures to overlap, but to *connote*
-being used as the basis of an item-based hypermedia system
-with fluidly interacting *applitudes*.
-
-We present the fundamental principles of hyperstructure,
-discuss the different proposed implementations (zzStructure
-and RDF -based) and our own implementation, Fenfire,
-with several user interface innovations.
-We also relate the concepts of hyperstructure to the hypertext
-literature.
+Computers need to help us **organizing our lives**, rather
+than making them more difficult. The "next big thing"
+will be a system that allows us to **structure information
+around items, things that we care about**, such as people, arguments
+and ideas, rather than directories and files, and helps
+us to understand how these items are related.
+
+We present a design for a computing environment
+built around this notion, using a *hyperstructure*, 
+a user-visible data structure for relating items
+to each other in different contexts.
+We also discuss Fenfire, our implementation-in-progress,
+which XXX{buoys and buoy+loom UI}.
