Claim:
A method for managing user-selectable content elements in multiple vectors on a display, the method comprising: displaying a first portion of a first group of user-selectable content elements along a first vector in a first direction on the display, at least some of the user-selectable content elements including one or more characterization attributes visually indicated on the at least some of the user-selectable content elements; receiving a selection of a characterization attribute associated with at least one user-selectable content element in the first group of user-selectable content elements; displaying at least a subset of a second group of user-selectable content elements, in response to the selection of the characterization attribute, proximate to the at least one user-selectable content element along a second vector in a second direction on the display concurrently with the first group of user-selectable content elements, each user-selectable content element in the second group of user-selectable content elements having the characterization attribute; wherein the second direction is at a non-zero angle relative to the first direction, and the second direction of the second vector being based at least in part on the selected characterization attribute; and displaying multiple versions of an individual user-selectable content element stacked in a third-dimension relative to the first vector and the second vector, such that the multiple versions of the individual user-selectable content element are presented in chronological order.
