With the rapid growth of the world wide web, it became obvious long ago that SuperMemo will capitalize on the power of on-line technologies. It also became only a question of time for a pure on-line variety of SuperMemo to emerge. Begun in 1999 as the 3GEMS Project, originally with mobile phones in mind, supermemo.net adds to the range of your options on how to use SuperMemo. The arrival of XML learning data exchange format for SuperMemo will only add to its power
