displaying the operation-selected computer-readable files on the first array of computer-readable files with a visual distinctive feature distinguishing, for a viewer, the subset of operation-selected computer-readable files from other non-operation-selected computer-readable files not satisfying the applied logical operation;

adding a computer-readable file that is satisfying the logical operation in the first group of computer-readable files, and

automatically updating the displayed operation-selected computer-readable files to add the added computer-readable file in the subset of operation-selected computer-readable files and display the added computer file with the visual distinctive feature.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable files are user-selectable elements and wherein the first array is an axis displaying the computer-readable files in a substantially rectilinear fashion.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 2 , further comprising:

providing a second group of user-selectable elements;

simultaneously displaying, along a second axis displaying the user-selectable elements in a substantially rectilinear fashion, the second group of user-selectable elements;

applying the logical operation to the second group of user-selectable elements;

selecting, from the second group of user-selectable elements, operation-selected user-selectable elements that satisfy the logical operation; and

displaying the operation-selected user-selectable elements on the second axis of user-selectable elements with a visual distinctive feature distinguishing for a viewer the operation-selected user-selectable elements from other non-operation-selected user-selectable elements; and

dynamically updating the displayed operation-selected elements on a basis of an event effecting the second group of user-selectable elements.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the logical operation includes Boolean logic.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the first group of computer-readable files is displayed in a viewing area and a remaining portion of the first group of computer-readable files extending beyond the viewing area, the selection of the operation-selected computer-readable files being equally applied to computer-readable files extending beyond the viewing area.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the addition of the new computer-readable file occurs on a server side.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the addition of the new computer-readable file is enabled by a second user.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the first axis of user-selectable elements and the second axis of user-selectable elements are displayed parallel to each other and wherein an operation-selected user-selectable elements displayed in both the first axis of user-selectable elements and the second axis of user-selectable elements is displayed longitudinally aligned on both the first axis user-selectable elements and the second axis of user-selectable elements.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the first group of user-selectable elements are ordered chronologically along the first axis.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of computer-readable files is also adapted to be statically selected.

11. A computerized system configured to read computer-executable instructions adapted to enable a program enabling an interface adapted to statically and dynamically select computer-readable files, the computerized system comprising:

a processing unit configured to process the computer executable instructions; and

a display configured to display the interface;

the program, when executed, being operative to:

display a first group of computer-readable files in a first array of computer-readable files, the first group of computer-readable files being selected on a basis of a common attribute;

define a logical operation adapted to be applied to the first group of computer-readable files, the logical operation being adapted to be applied to the first group of computer-readable files;

apply the logical operation to the first group of computer-readable files;

performing a second selection, from the first group of computer-readable files, of a subset of operation-selected computer-readable files that are satisfying the logical operation, the second selection of the subset of operation-selected computer-readable files being a dynamic selection adapted to be dynamically updated on a basis of an addition of computer-readable files to the first group of computer-readable files;

display the operation-selected computer-readable files on the first array of computer-readable files with a visual distinctive feature distinguishing, for a viewer, the subset of operation-selected computer-readable files from other non-operation-selected computer-readable files not satisfying the applied logical operation;

adding a computer-readable file that is satisfying the logical operation in the first group of computer-readable files, and

automatically updating the displayed operation-selected computer-readable files to add the added computer-readable file in the subset of operation-selected computer-readable files and display the added computer file with the visual distinctive feature.

12. The computerized system of claim 11 , wherein the array of computer-readable files are user-selectable elements displayed along a first axis in a substantially rectilinear fashion.

13. The computerized system of claim 12 , further providing a second group of computer-readable files simultaneously displayed along a second axis in a substantially rectilinear fashion, wherein the operation-selected computer-readable files from the first axis of computer-readable files also selects the computer-readable files from the second axis that that satisfy the logical operation.

14. The computerized system of claim 11 , wherein the logical operation includes Boolean logics.

15. The computerized system of claim 11 , wherein a portion of the first group of computer-readable files is displayed on a viewing area and a remaining portion of the first group of computer-readable files extends beyond the viewing area, the selection of the operation-selected computer-readable files being equally applied to computer-readable files not displayed in the viewing area.

16. The computerized system of claim 11 , wherein the addition of the new computer-readable file is enabled by a second user.

17. The computerized system of claim 13 , wherein the first axis of computer-readable files and the second axis of computer-readable files are displayed parallel to each other and wherein an operation-selected computer-readable file displayed in both the first and the second axis is displayed longitudinally aligned on both the first and the second axis.

18. A method of statically and dynamically selecting documents, the method comprising:

displaying a first group of documents in an array of documents, the first group of documents being selected on a basis of a common attribute;

defining a logical operation adapted to be applied to the first group of documents, the logical operation being adapted to be applied to the first group of documents;

applying the logical operation to the first group of documents;

performing a second selection, from the first group of documents, of a subset of operation-selected documents that are satisfying the logical operation, the second selection of the subset of operation-selected documents being a dynamic selection adapted to be dynamically updated on a basis of an addition of additional documents to the first group of documents;
