Here’s a great example of a multimedia Personal Information Management system. Gregg Gillis, the artist behind the musical mash-up sensation Girl Talk, discusses on NPR how he organizes the music he samples in his work. Here is the most interesting quote about his system:

While listening to NPR's This American Life this week, I learned all about Poo Prints, a service provided by a firm called BioPet Vet Lab. They started out selling DNA testing services to establish the genetic history of dogs and have expanded to now offer Poo Prints, which helps property managers/governments/etc figure out which dog owner is not cleaning up after their dog.
