Here's an alternative way that could be used to organize and manage a
flat (non-hierarchical) home folder and its contents:

More specifically, take a look at some of the applications built with
it:

And take a look at this, which wasn't built with it but uses a similar
idea:

(it's in Flash, and the hit areas suck because they're so small -- use
the arrow keys on your keyboard instead)
We could still filter content via searches (via an alpha fadeback, as
per Filie, and perhaps a zoom to that content), but unlike a text
list, it also works with the human mind's spacial/location-based
orientation.
Apple has worked on similar ideas with Hot Sauce in early days of Web
history, Hot Sauce was relying on MCF format to store metadatas, MCF
has been later used as a foundation for RDF.

A project somewhat related for Web browsing history has been written
with Cocoa (it uses Apache Lucene to index/search the history) :
