Trusted networks influence the relevance of information.

Who an e-mail says it's from is important.
Where an e-mail says it's from is important.

If the data is there, it can be used. It should be used. It must be used.

Write an application of the word class that will translate common spam words into legible text.

Train it on pen scanning input.

Hot Information

I want a computer to be on the look out for any instances of hot words that I specify.

New Artist releases in music, new films. People references. Mention of people I know. Subject matter I am interested in. Urgent work-related stuff. Intelligence on competitors.

At first in the web browser, then in e-mail, then in IM, schedules, everywhere.

I will try to program a browser extension. Then an e-mail extension.

Or at first, make a java program to do it. Copy and paste from one window into another? Tedious, but maybe faster development.

After time, the computer should learn which words I am interested in, from search terms to pages that i follow a lot.
