Generality

I coined a new term the other day to describe what happens while browsing the internet and following links to various places. Sometimes, you set out to look for some information on something and end up learning about something entirely different than what you set out to research.

This phenomenon happens alot on Wikipedia but it spans the cyberspace in general just by it's very nature of "hyperlinked" information.

So my new word is "infotrip." This the perfect name for the birdwalk that so often accompanies internet research.

So, have fun "infotripping!"
