One of the weirdest aspects of the net is how the metaphor of "the page", 
despite a potentially infinite 2 dimensional viewport, most of the time 
gets limited horizontal space and enforces obligatory infinite vertical 
reading.

I am absolutely sure THAT is hampering modes of understanding.

The vertical fetish runs through most everything.

I have a USE CASE idea to do this:

   (1) transfer a fairly large database to TW of film that lists directors, 
actors etc. Each record has a UNIQUE TITLE.

   (2) create one or more TW's of iframed clips of that particular title

   (3) create potentially many Tweets to Twitter about the film.

I want them grouped by the film title. But each form (1-3) is radically 
differently formatted. It would be easiest to collect them with 
transclusion.

Right now I would get

 (1) Data
 (2) Clips
 (3) Tweets

For this application ...

(1) Data   (2) Clips   (3) Tweets

... would be far better in an infinite horizontal plane.

Has anyone played with that?

Its systemic transclusion with stylistic (visual) freedom that goes left, 
not down.

Some thoughts. Any comments?
