- Whenever you find a spelling or factual mistake on any web page, you immediately look for the "edit this page" button
- When you see a spelling mistake on your own web site, you immediately look for the "history" button to find out what moron added it
- Putting hyperlinks in HTML documents is such a pain because typing [[whatever|link]] is so much easier than <a href="http://whatever">link</a>
- When writing plain-text email, you try to emphasize a word using '''word'''
- You wish your email client supported categories: being able to add multiple categories to an email would be so cool (All joking aside, this would be quite a cool feature*)
- You see a short web page lacking in content and want to add {{stub}}
- You see something on a web site that doesn't seem right, and you want to leave a message on the talk page asking about it
- You eye your kids' toys, wondering if they really play with them anymore, whether they'd notice if they vanished, and how much you could get for them. Oops, wrong list — that should be on the Top Ten Signs You Use eBay Too Much
- You wish the web had a "watchlist" so you could find out which web pages have changed recently without having to actually visit those pages (though I suppose that's what RSS is for)
- You click on a hyperlink that takes you to a 404 error page, and you wonder why the original link wasn't red
* I have frequently been looking for a particular email and cannot remember what folder I saved it in. Wouldn't it be great to be able to "save" it to multiple folders without replicating the message numerous times? If I'm looking for a message from my boss regarding IPv6 in SuSE Linux, did I save it in a folder called "Mark"? OK, so that would probably have been dumb, but was it "IPv6" or "Linux" or "SuSE"? If I could mark the message with a bunch of different tags (eg. "Mark IPv6 SuSE Linux"), then I could look in any one of those folders and find it. Blogger.com just added this feature for blog articles, and I love it; it's also similar to the way you can save bookmarks at del.icio.us. Are you listening Thunderbird or Outlook people?

Gmail does (5) with its labels - or is there something that you are missing there?
