Hypertext Faults:

In spite of its many attributes in providing an effective
information management strategy, "hypertext is an immature
technology with many limitations yet to be resolved.  Perhaps the
most difficult part of creating a hypertext system is not
building the user interface, but creating sound underlying data
models that can be maintained" (Fiderio, 1988).  The hypertext
developer should be wary of maintenance problems such as weak
links and uncontrolled links, which result in "spaghetti code". 
The system structure must be coherent and logical to facilitate
user interactivity and minimize the danger of disorientation so
that system users can effectively retain control over the
definition of information paths.
