Community Memory (Notes for now, I'll make a proper text)
- small pilot network in the San Francisco Bay area, 3 public terminals for common database, ability to add new information, used beyond expectations with great creativity, developed by Resource One Inc. a non-profit corporation and one of few public service computer center, ADD -> new entry + keywords for indexing, FIND -> search keywords (using AND OR NOT), users taught each others how to use the system, used by students + musicians + chess players + car pool organisation + good tips for restaurant + unexpected things like poems, graphics, not uncommon for people using the terminal in groups or hacing to queue for using it, 150 searches + 30 new addition per day (Ken Colstad and Efrem Lipkin. 1975. Community memory: a public information network. SIGCAS Comput. Soc. 6, 4 (December 1975), 6-7.)
