Free associations... Use TW to make, eg. spectacular christmas cards or other complex documents, for lack of a better term. No tiddlers that are irrelevant for the reciver are accessible. A very limited TW. How is this different form an email or a word document? Because with TW can send a christmas card that has, say, three hyperlinked pages (tiddlers!) that embed, say, a youtube video with you greeting them, another tiddler with a poem, another where they can tick of things in the kids wishlist, another where ...whatever crazy stuff TW can do.
The unsuspecting non-tiddlywikian, thinks it's just a very cool thing you've somehow put togehter. Little do they know it's a TW where almost everything is hidden! No sidebar, no search - and no tiddler title unless necessary, for sure no visible tags or toolbar. Perhaps a theme where tiddlers have no frames so the text or whatever is shown seems to be it and all. ...but of course, there could be a little innocent shadow of a cat that says "Powered by TiddlyWiki" for those analytically minded who actually want to know. The next PM you send out to the others at your work place doesn't have to be a word document. It can be a "wow, some kind of hyperlinked page where you can jumpt to only the interesting stuff". Using sliders to get really consice texts but with the possibility to dive deeper for anyone interested. Hupp, a table of contents made from... are those links!? Hm, is that embedded music thing with "Workin' 9 to 5" supposed to inspire us? Jeremys latest(?) video uses, I believe, the Cecily theme for a presentation that you can barely believe is TW. You click a thing and stuff zoom in and move around, but in a defined sequence. Takes the viewer along for a ride really. Have your unsuspecting friend draw a monkey face "for a competition" [drawing feature in TW5]... he clicks a button and a body appears under his drawing with his name on the t-shirt. Maybe possible by transcluding it to above another tiddler with the body drawing. What's this file titled "Cooking with Mat"? Hm, it's a recipe... but with some kind of links in it, whoa that chefs hat sure looks stupid on him... And look, links for "Spicy version, Mild version and Just right version" Whats this - "to do while waiting for the oven to get hot.. Game of Zork- what??" (Hey, look, there's [a picture of] me and I'm in some maze supposed to find a key!" Or how about forcing them to figure out the game to get some necessary information in the recipe? Why? For fun. But also for spreading TW. Maybe there could be ready made templates for this? We have an ever expanding collection of Magic Christmas Card templates, made in TW with predefined format, some static background images and some empty frames for personal images. Or other greeting cards. Collections of recipe TW's. "Mini TW templates".... Categorized collections on, perhaps, tw.com (better be good then!) By the way, this latter idea (templates) is one example of what I refer to as "content" and "topics" in TW's in this thread <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/K9O5eBkIuW0> where I, with the help of Tobias, outline another concept. Note, it's not the iframes ideas that are relevant here (altho that really is interesting - check out Tobias creations!) but it is the bit about "lists" and "meta data" a few posts down. Or, maybe iframes woudl be perfect here? It could be a window to wherever you want. Some site you update? Again, wish lists where they can see "what is left to buy"? Or a Halloween card made to scare the sh't out of people; an iframe to a secret camera you've placed in their kitchen where they are likely to read the card and see themselves!! (Yes, I have friends, why are you asking?) But, as I said, the thread there shifts over to another idea. I may go a bit banans towards the end, but it was late and I was tired. Besides, I like bananas.
