Once upon a time, there was a man who looked like a giant panda.
His name was Adam, but his friends called him "Panda". He had more friends than any other panda on the whole Internet -- science proved it!
Panda had a sidekick called Troutgirl who was a grumpy programmer.
One day they realized that the web had become a series of firehoses. Stuff goes by so quickly that within a short period it becomes impossible to find again!
They wanted to find a better way to save the gold nuggets from the rushing stream of content.
